​Merry Christmas Everyone!

Whaddya know!  Our own Coachmen's Turntable landing on Christmas Day!  How great is that!  

I sincerely hope that everyone is doing well and preparing for a fun Christmas Day!  We are.  Our family, 14 now, will be spending Christmas together.  Everyone lives within 15 miles of our home so travel should be no problem.  

I hope you like our intro music (top of page). "Merry Christmas Everyone" is a song by British singer-songwriter Shakin' Stevens from Wales written by Bob Heatlie.  It was released on 25 November 1985 and was the number one Christmas song for that year.  

The Turntable today is filled with 50's Christmas songs.  I'm sure you know them all.  Remember Brenda Lee "Rockin around the Christmas tree"   The flipSide carries familiar songs like  Elvis "Blue Christmas" -  and not so familiar - The Band "Christmas must be Tonight" Check out PICTURESQUE!  Dale is the "Travlin Man"  for sure!  Last on the list is Sucks News.  I'm recommending my all time favorite movie "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart.  Do yourself a favor and watch this movie . . . soon!

Till Next week / be safe and I'll see you on the Turntable!

"Run Rudolph" is a Christmas song popularized by Chuck Berry, written by Johnny Marks and Marvin Brodie and published by St. Nicholas Music (ASCAP). The song was first recorded by Berry in 1958 and released as a single on Chess Records (label no. 1714). It has since been covered by numerous other artists, sometimes under the title "Run, Run, Rudolph".[1] The song is a 12-bar blues, musically similar to Berry's very popular and recognizable song "Johnny B. Goode" and melodically identical to his song "Little Queenie", released in 1959.

The Beach Boys are an American rock band formed in Hawthorne, California, in 1961. The group's original lineup consisted of brothers Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson; their cousin Mike Love; and their friend Al Jardine. Distinguished by their vocal harmonies and early surf songs, they are one of the most influential acts of the rock era.[1]

The Ronettes were an American girl group from New York City. One of the most popular groups from the 1960s, they placed nine songs on the Billboard Hot 100, five of which became Top 40 hits. The trio from Spanish Harlem, New York,[1] consisted of lead singer Veronica Bennett (later known as Ronnie Spector), her older sister Estelle Bennett, and their cousin Nedra Talley. 

Among the Ronettes' most famous songs are "Be My Baby", "Baby, I Love You", "(The Best Part of) Breakin' Up", and "Walking in the Rain", all of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100. "Walking in the Rain" won a Grammy Award in 1965, and "Be My Baby" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.[2] The Ronettes were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.

Brenda Lee (born Brenda Mae Tarpley; December 11, 1944) is an American performer and the top-charting solo female vocalist of the 1960s.
She is perhaps best known in the United States for her 1960 hit "I'm Sorry", and 1958's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", a United States Christmas standard for almost 60 years.
