I chose to set the harmonic structure and instrumental color as closely to the period as I could. In this case, the guitar probably would have been a lute, and the harpsichord, of course, is itself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recorded at Sound Recorders in Omaha, Nebraska in 1984

jimbo2021 9th Dec 2023		CD Album Johnny Mathis - The Christmas Music Of Johnny Mathis: A Personal Collection (1993)	From what I can find, "When A Child Is Born" is included on several later Christmas compilations around the world, but that one is originally from his 1976 album entitled I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU. It was track B5, the final track on the album. Apparently, that selection was only a charting single in the United Kingdom, where it seems to have gone all the way to the top (number one). The song on Side B was track B4 from that album, "Every Time You Touch Me (I Get High)." When A Child/UK Single When A Child/US Single
jimbo2021 5th Dec 2023		CD Album Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song (1999)	Trivia from Wikipedia on the fourth and last studio recording of "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You)" by Nat King Cole.. Fourth recording Recorded at Capitol Studios, New York City, March 30, 1961. This rendition, the first recorded in stereo,[13] is widely played on radio stations during the Christmas season, and has become the most popular/familiar version of this song.[4] Label credit: Nat King Cole (Nat King Cole, vocals; Hank Jones, pianist; John Collins, guitarist; Charlie Harris, bassist; Lee Young, drummer; Charlie Grean, Pete Rugolo and Ralph Carmichael, orchestral arrangement; Ralph Carmichael, orchestra conductor).[13][15] The instrumental arrangement is nearly identical to the 1953 version,[13] but Cole's vocals are deeper-sounding and more focused. Originally done for The Nat King Cole Story (a 1961 LP devoted to stereo re-recordings of Cole's earlier hits), this recording was later included in a reissue of Cole's 1960 album The Magic of Christmas replacing "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". Retitled The Christmas Song, the album was issued in 1963 as Capitol W-1967(mono) / SW-1967(stereo) and today is available both on compact disc and streaming on iTunes. This recording of "The Christmas Song" has also been included on numerous compilation albums of Christmas pop standards (for example, WCBS-FM's Ultimate Christmas Album Volume 3). An alternate take of the 1961 recording, featuring a different vocal and missing the solo piano on the instrumental bridge, appears on the Deluxe Edition of the 2014 compilation The Extraordinary Nat King Cole.[13] There were several covers of Nat Cole's original record in the 1940s. The first of these was said to be by Dick Haymes on the Decca label, but his was released first – not recorded first. The first cover of "The Christmas Song" was performed by pop tenor and bandleader Eddy Howard on Majestic. Howard was a big Cole fan, and also covered Nat's versions of "I Want to Thank Your Folks" and "(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons", among others.
