Friends of Christmas 2017:
Here's a Christmas song, from a live performance by the ”All Mixed Up” band:
Barry Wendell Rhythm Guitar and Vocals (bella voce)
Ed Schaeffer Martin Guitar and Harmony
Greg Nelson Bass
Rudolph, a fictional reindeer, is usually depicted as a young calf who barely has
antlers, with a glowing red nose. He’s the lead reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh on
Christmas Eve. The glow of his nose is so great that it lights the way for Santa
through inclement winter weather.
Rudolph was created in a 1939 booklet written by Robert L. May and published
by Montgomery Ward department store. May's brother-in-law, Johnny Marks,
adapted the story of Rudolph into a song. Gene Autry's recording of the song
hit No. 1 on the Billboard pop singles chart the week of Christmas 1949. Autry's
recording sold 2.5 million copies the first year, eventually selling a total of 25
million, and it remained the second best-selling record of all time until the 1980s.
