Julie’s song “People Born in May” has special meaning for us. Paul was born in May and I was born in July, which fits the lyrics of the song. It strangely became “our song”. My mother’s name is also Julie. I have all of her original Liberty albums on vinyl. Took me 40 years to find them all! Think they might be valuable, as vinyl is gaining in value all the time.
Just heard all the tracks during my late breakfast. Here in Germany the main christmas day is Dec. 24th, so I went to bed very late yesterday and that's why my breakfast today was also later than usual.
As I'm a JazzWax reader since many years, of course I know your tradition to bring a "new" Julie London Holiday album each and every year. So thank you for continueing this great idea, Marc. 👍
If I may, I'll put two links here from two Julie London tracks I like so much since many years:
Since 2017 there's a book out from Michael Owen called "Go Slow: The Life Of Julie London". I'm sure you mentioned it when it was published, Marc. So that's just a reminder. 😉
And if you can't get enough of her, she played in every episode of the TV show "Emergency" from 1972-1977. As a fan of historical TV shows, I bought the DVD boxes years ago. So I accomplished two things at once: To get my daily dosis of Julie London (and Bobby Troup, too) and enjoying a wonderful 70s TV show.
So I wish everyone here at JazzWax a great christmas time. And a BIG thank you to you Marc for doing all this. 👍🙂

Glad you enjoyed, Bruno. Traditions are traditions!
Men of a certain age, ancient that is, remember her fondly from the late 1950s through the 1960s ..
