Johnny Marks wrote the songs for this RANKIN/BASS classic too!
He wrote this to me yesterday:
I'm doing some appearances here and there. I'm doing a 'signing' at a music store in Madison this Saturday and again here in Appleton next Week. Also a lecture about my work on Rudolph at an art museum here on the 15th. It keeps going on and on.
I am tired just thinking about it :) You can read more on this musical legend at www.maurylaws.com
