Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire...

They Know That Santa's On His Way...
Mike Clifford
So I guess it's time to throw a little Christmas Spirit your collective way, since as you all have bared witness that I am not really that much into it. Halloween & Thanksgiving are more my jam. Yet somehow when I hear Mike Clifford's cover of the Nat King Cole classic The Christmas Song I get the warm fuzzy feeling of my youth for the Holiday.

Mike was a prolific singer in the 1960's with his signature hit Close To Cathy among other endeavors. He was also a favorite of the late Dick Clark making numerous appearances on American Bandstand as well as touring with the Dick Clark Caravan.

Yet our intrepid Mike had never recorded a song full of Holiday Cheer until 2017, yeah, last year. He wanted to have one on his impressive resume and here it is for all of you to enjoy. The former Teen Idol's gift to you.



So just sit right back and enjoy this Yuletide standard, right here, right now. Don't ever tell me I'm not a giver...

Where's Mike? Unlike Waldo I have the answer.
