Subject: RE: Who dun 'em?--Xmas classics
I'm glad you brought this up. "Silver Bells" is from a movie called "The Lemondrop Kid" with Bob Hope. He sang it and I've never heard it done better. Dr. Benjiman "Tex" Logan did, indeed do "Chistmas Time's A'comin'". My fondest memories are of parties at his North Jersey home. Everyone in Bluegrass was there (I got in because I was,at that time, the bass player for Roger Sprung's band) What a terrific song that is. Do you recall Burl Ives singing "Frosty, the Snowman" or little Jimmy Boyd doing "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"? Dont forget Jose Feliciano's "Feliz Navidad"
