Our Christmas countdown hits 1938 with Day 15, as we come across perhaps my favorite record of the whole bunch - "The Man with the Whiskers" by the Hoosier Hot Shots!
Here are the boys on Vocalion Records:
The boxes this record checks for Christmas music:
- An artist I like
- The song is performed in the artist's usual style (but maybe some sleigh bells or something thrown in)
- A rare or unique song (not many, if any, other recordings of the song)
And there we go!
I had talked a bit about this record before, but one other note is that the song takes to the extreme the idea that it won't actually name who the Man with the Whiskers is or his holiday!
