Good Morning Gentle Readers,
This is a Beach Boys promotional photo for the release of Little Saint Nick in 1963. That's a mighty thin Santa, but then again, it was So Cal in the sixties.
I spent an hour at Home Despot™ this morning. Made me wish I had hearing protection and reminded me that there ain't a whole lot of Christmas music that I like. But this is a good one.
Hands down best cover of the tune (ever) is by the Fendertones, who duplicated the unique studio-over-dubbed Beach Boy sound with multiple voices while employing vintage instruments.
As Always,
