Nothing finah than Dinah Shore's lilting voice — on dial, disc or channel WHAT'S By CHRIS WILSON Whether we've just picked the bones off a Thanksgiving turkey or are finishing up the last wrapping on a Christmas package, there is no time like holiday time for music. Whether it's one of the old exciting pop recordings or an old sentimental "Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly" type piece, a record is the ideal gift for telling your hostess how much you've enjoyed being invited to her party, and for telling your relatives you still remember their musical taste at Christmas time. This year the companies have a wonderful selection of albums for every age group — dear junior who dotes on gun-toting Hopalong Cassidy-type dramas, or his tinier sister who insists that the good fairy sit beside her as she munches her graham cracker, through the jive-happy or cry-happy sox set to the oldsters and their more melodic preferences for the fine classics. Alliums To Know About: RCA's collection includes Eddie Fisher's "I'm In The Mood For Love" — eight songs, with "Hold Me" and "I've Got You Under My Skin" our top favorites in the group. Vaughn Monroe's "Caravan," with that perennial favorite, "Riders In The Sky," and "Cool Water." Spike Jones — mad as ever — with "Bottoms Up," which has six nationalities represented in whacky spikedup melody. "Let's Dance Tonight," Freddy Martin's contribution to the polished-floorscratching set who look for smooth melodies with which to sway. "Rio Rita" and "A Connecticut Yankee," Al Goodman with Earl Wrightson and Elaine Malbin rendering old favorite hits for musical-comedy collectors. The same company's "Hardback Storybook" series will be a must for harassed Christmas shoppers who can't think of a thing to give the little dears with which relatives keep adding to the census. "Peter Pan" and "Adventures in Music" are already released with more in preparation. You've probably already planned on using the six-in-one series from RCA Victor, which includes not only recordings but an illustrated storybook, outlined pictures to be colored, a special puppet theatre with hand puppets, and dummy admission tickets. If you haven't seen them, go be as intrigued as the gift recipient with Burr Tillstrom's two, "Kukla, Fran and Ollie and the Wishing Well" and his "Kukla, Fran and Ollie at the Fair." There are ten albums in all to choose from. . . . Out in time to fill a jive-addict's stocking with joy 10
