[78-L] ^White Christmas

[Rodger Holtin 78-L]

My favorite rendition of White Christmas is where Bing sings it in an early scene in this film with just the music box for accompaniment.  I'm sure that wasn't as marketable as the one with Danny Kaye and Peggy Lee (Decca's stand-in for Rosemary Clooney).   I've never seen any of these on 78, but they show up in lists and discographies. 

Sent from my sluggish old iPhone, which explainz any bad typjng, bad spellimg, nonsensical word choices, delays and all other lapses.
