A Newberry Christmas memory...

A Newberry Christmas memory...
This is from George Albert Smith's film "Santa Claus," made in 1898. I love it when Santa blows the kiss to the sleeping children. And, I love how Leadbelly's music matches up with the clip. Just magically delicious. youtu.be/F5R6YarhEag?...

A Christmas memory... In our stockings, along with an orange, a candy cane, a new toothbrush, and comic books, Santa always left a package of thank you notes, which were put to good use after presents were opened and breakfast was done.

A message for the dark
A melody of fragile light
As sweet as any lark
A good solstice to you all.

I suggest we all have a Rob Reiner marathon on Wednesday night. My choices... "Stand By Me," "Spinal Tap," and "The Princess Bride." Maybe a couple of episodes of "All In The Family."

Working on a Holiday Pops program for the Charlotte Symphony, and it makes me recall the excitement of heading to KFVS-TV in Cape Girardeau, Mo., to sing Christmas songs on Channel 12 as part of Mrs. Seabaugh's elementary school choir. 1/2
