Merry Christmas everyone! One correction to a comment I made late in the show. Petit Papa Noël is not in fact trad. Written by Raymond Vincy and Henri Martinet, it was originally performed by French singer and heartthrob Tino Rossi in Richard Pottier's 1946 film Destin. If you want to hear the original from the film, it is available on YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WQushjP2Wqk Happy New Year and talk to you next year!
