Little did she know...

Little did she know...

I remember watching the Bing Crosby's Christmas TV special with my mom as a kid. She was a Crosby fan, and she did her best to turn me onto him and other pop singers she enjoyed -- including Roger Whitaker, Barbara Streisand, and Neil Diamond -- but I'm pretty sure that it was an appearance by a certain guest star on that special that probably had a more profound subconscious effect on how I would pursue music and how my aural tastes would be shaped in later years.


What does David Bowie himself have to say about the legendary meet-up?
"He looked like a little old orange sitting on a stool ... I just knew my mother liked him."
Happy holidays everyone!
