Nuttin' and Barking

The first share of this season is the single "(I'm Gettin') Nuttin' For Christmas" b/w "Something Barked on Christmas Morning" by Ricky Zahnd and the Blue Jeaners.  Recorded in 1955 by nine-year old Ricky Zahnd and backed by the Blue Jeaners (also children), these are actually a pretty good couple of songs.  Novelty-ish songs sung by kids have a short shelf-life for me, so thankfully young Mr. Zahnd performs well and the songs themselves are fine.  Not something that I want to play on repeat, but enjoyable in small doses.  Cute, but not overly sappy.  Mirthful, but not annoyingly so.  

Interesting fact (according the the Internet) - Ricky Zahnd, in adulthood, became an executive VP for the New York Knicks and the New York Rangers.  

So, please enjoy this single to start our sharing season this year!
