The holiday season is winding down, but the SEASON OF BURL IVES is heating up.

I wondered if @great78 at @internetarchive had recordings that fit the odd hashtag of the day,
#songsormoviesaboutcorn
???
Sure it does! From #Rachmaninoff to #BurlIves! ( Which reminds me that #TomLehrer once wrote, "Some people don't even care if Jimmy crack corn," but I doubt that was ever released on a 78 RPM record.

With the holidays coming up here’s my little connection with Christmas history. My granddad (left) was friends with Burl Ives (guy in the middle), who made a lot of the Christmas songs that get stuck in your head every year.

Holiday records that are as much as 60 years old do not belong on the chart of contemporary hits.

Finally got through “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” (1958) last night after an aborted attempt a year or two back. It gets a lot better after the first 10-15 minutes. (At least until the ending.) Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman get most of the hype, but Burl Ives really makes this movie.
