[78-L] The Christmas Songs

[Bud Black]

In 1947 Dick Todd with Marek Warnow's orchestra and chorus, recorded "All
Around The Christmas Tree," on the Sonora label  I remember thinking at the
time that this song would become a Christmas classic heard every year.  Boy,
was I wrong!  The record was played extensively on the radio, but by the
following year it had almost faded into obscurity.  All in all.....I kinda
liked it!

That's Simeone. Don't monkey around with spelling...
 
I like Roger Miller's "Old Toy Trains," Clarence Williams' "Christmas Night
in Harlem" and Michelle "Evil Gal" Wilson's "All I Want for Christmas Is a
Five Pound Box of Money."
