Popular song during Christmas on radio back in the day.

December 25, 2024

One of the popular songs played on the radio in Pittsfield MA in the days before Christmas when I was a kid,...Lou Monte: "Hey  Gombaree".

I heard it on the radio as i was delivering  bacala  and other staples to customers of the Italian American store in Pittsfield during the holiday season. My neighbor Jamie Ciliberti hired me to deliver holiday staples to his customers. The glorious aromas of simmering tomato sauce and sausages slowly cooking on a gas stove was an olefactory sign that Christmas was around the corner.
