When I was kid growing up in Sioux City, I loved Christmas time, I loved all the Christmas Lights everywhere, and apparently I always did, I have a b\/w photo of a 7 month old me mesmerized, sitting in front of the Christmas tree, my Mom and Grandma’s would be baking treats, the added bonus of it was the one big score of getting presents and candy, a far 2nd being your birthday and Halloween, heck I even loved the snow! My favorite book is “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens published in 1843, my favorite film version is the (1969\u00a0Api Prod.) cartoon of “A Christmas Carol”\u00a0 released in Dec 1970 by CBS. I remember\u00a0vividly\u00a0Christmas of 1970 my family went to my sister Michelle’s Godmother’s house, and there was Darlene L. sitting in front of the Christmas tree having an eggnog and listening to Christmas music\u00a0on the\u00a0 record player, I was blown away and hooked, all at the same time. My favorite Christmas carol is “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” This same Christmas I got my 1st record player\u00a0for Xmas a Panasonic compact battery powered portable with an AM radio, state of the art at the time, I tried to find a photo of it to include, alas no luck, I did find a photo of my 1st TV a b\/w portable also made by Panasonic.<\/p>\n

A guy I worked with, Kevin, brought in a cassette that his brother Keith S.\u00a0 had made of some Rock N Roll Xmas Songs, one of which\u00a0 was The Monkees “Christmas Is My Time Of Year” which at this point I had never heard before,\u00a0he got this from my future great\u00a0friend at ACE High Records. This started my tradition in 1985 of making an annual Xmas Cassette then in 1999 I was able to switch to CD, and then in 2017, I was able to switch to an annual “Radio Show”.\u00a0 In 1986 this was my 1st Xmas holiday season working in Music\u00a0Retail at RecordShop in Valley West Mall, but after 4 years of that I was no longer a fan of Christmas, people could be so rude and demanding, and too many places played the\u00a0same old tired Christmas music which pushed me even harder to continue my Xmas, Cassette, CD & Radio Show … in 1993 RecordShop was purchased by Wherehouse Ent. and a study was done for 4th quarter that showed Minnesota & Iowa sold more Christmas music\u00a0per capita than any other states in the union!\u00a0 When I opened Mr. Zer0’s in 2009, I had a renewed attachment to Christmas time\u00a0and the music\u00a0that went with it. So I have continued my\u00a0tradition for some 35 years, with that I give you the track list of Mr. Zer0’s 4th Annual Xmass Show!<\/p>\n
