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.

Two Classic Christmas Movies

Sit back and relax...

White Christmas, a musical with Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby, two crooners who share the spotlight with Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen..lots of playful singing and acting puts you in the spirit.

and

It's A Wonderful Life, with Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed and a cast of veteran character actors who steal just about every scene they're in. Both films are produced in luminous black and white.

Merry Christmas!
