Good Sunday Morning Before Christmas everyone!
I have another interesting share for you today, as we're nearing final approach before Christmas Day. "The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas" is a 1983 record on the Starland Music label. It's a musical story album featuring nine songs interwoven into the story of the Ted E. Bear, who decides to stay up one year, even though it's bears' hibernation time, to see what this Christmas thing is all about.
What caught my eye in the record store was that Tommy Smothers is the voice of Ted E. Bear, and he does a wonderful job voicing the character. Vocal acting legend June Foray is also past of the cast, as are Louie Nye and Sue Raney.
This is an enjoyable little record. Those of us of a certain age will enjoy Tommy Smothers, and the rest can cozy up for a pleasant little Christmas tale.
Please enjoy "The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas"
Nice one! Never noticed there was a Smothers Brother among the cast. If you haven't already, add the book Dangerously Funny to your reading list. All about the Smothers Brothers and their TV show on CBS in the late 60s. Lots of famous comedians got their start on that show but I never knew it until I read the book.
