Keep the Coffee Comimg

I know I’ve been posting a variety of Christmas music, but there is so much to choose from that I figured I’d start in the 40’s and move up. These first two are from 1949. Rudolph topped the pop and country charts that year and was recharted several times in the 1950s. The other two postings are from the 50s’ where we’ll stay for a few days.

“On December 28, 1953, Chicago area kids were introduced to the whimsical story of Suzy Snowflake “tap, tap, tappin'” on every windowpane, seen on “Garfield Goose and Friends” then on WBBM-TV. Suzy too was brought to life by the stop-motion animators of Centaur Productions. Norma Zimmer was Suzy’s voice and the song was sung by The Norman Luboff Choir, a premier studio group who recorded with well-known artists, such as Frank Sinatra and Harry Belafonte.” I saw this on TV every Christmas. I remember being amazed at the animation.

The Railroad Hour was a radio series of musical dramas and comedies broadcast from the late 1940s to the mid-1950s. Original Air Date Was 12/25/1950. This is almost a half hour long. Listen while you wrap and bake.
