Rumors Of Christmas Music
Another month is gone. Fall is here. The nights are nippy and the days are cooler. I’m not exactly sure where the year has gone. I did drink a lot on New Years, so maybe this is only Friday the 2nd of January.

Maybe this is only Friday, January 2nd.
Stores are gearing up for Halloween and a few have started to put out their Christmas displays. Never too early for Christmas.
I’ve even heard through my media grapevine that a couple of the music stations in Boise are starting to program their computers with Christmas music. I wonder which one will switch over first.
While I’m on the subject of Christmas music, when I lived in Los Angeles I never could get used to driving around LA in December when it was 73 degrees and the stations were playing White Christmas by Bing Crosby. For some reason Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer didn’t bother me, but I never got used to White Christmas .
When I worked for a radio station in Seattle during the 70′s I had the Godfather steal Christmas. I had the story line go on for about two weeks and couldn’t find an ending. Finally, the night before the last episode I had Santa make the Godfather an offer he couldn’t refuse. I no longer have the original script, but I think it had something to do with 30 or 40 Elves with really sharp knives. That or something about coal and socks.
