Trying to get in the spirit

It hasn't been easy to get into the Christmas season this year for some reason. Trying to fix that...With, what, three days to go?

No baseball carols that I could find, but here is this little treasure from YouTube:




HERE is a little background on that clip:

One of the more surreal moments in pop music history took place Sept. 11, 1977, when the leading American pop star of the first half of the Twentieth Century met and performed with one of the more innovative rock 'n' rollers of the last half of the Century. Bing was in London on a concert tour and to tape his yearly TV Christmas special. It was Bing's idea that he should have as a guest on his TV show a young star. Someone suggested David Bowie. Bing had never heard of Bowie, but his kids had, and so an invitation was sent to the rock star. Bowie, as it turned out, was a secret fan of Der Bingle and jumped at the chance to perform with him.

Crosby died about a month later....Oh, wait, that isn't very Christmas-y. Just keep trying and enjoy the song.
