By: RL Schwinden aka: MrZerr0<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   As I have mentioned many times before when I was a kid in Sioux City, Christmas was my favorite time of year, I loved it all the music, the movies and TV Shows, the cookies and the candies, especially the lights and even the snow, I would race home from school, (mostly because I hated school) I would grab my Mom’s Sears catalog and sit in our rust colored rocking chair with the TV to catch a Christmas special or the radio on to hear a Christmas song or 2, I would poor through the catalog trying to figure out what I wanted most for Christmas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

   However generally speaking, I never got anything I ever wanted from the Sears catalog, however I did usually get the item I saw on TV, that I wanted or from Woolco, located down at the Sunset Plaza. In 1985 while working at a stereo store I worked with a guy Kevin whose brother Keith gave him a tape of Rock N Roll Christmas music, now I thought this was just fantastic, even better was the fact it had a Monkees Christmas song from 1976, that I had never heard before. I was so impressed by this cassette, it was then that I began to make my own annual Rock & Pop Xmass Tape. So it was only natural when I got my own radio show in 2017, I began to do an annual “Christmas Show” every year around Christmas, (I even have the show ready for Christmas 2022, done already).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So with that being said I will give you the track list for the 5th annual “PsychoGello Christmas Show 2021” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

and a bit o history to go along with each song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“All My Christmases Came At Once”<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bee Gees 1968<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formed in 1958 in Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I am not a real fan of the Bee Gees, they did put out a cool single back in 1968.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What Child Is This”<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Lindsay 1971<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born 9 March 1942 in Eugene, Ore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was with the band “Paul Revere And The Raiders” from 1961 to 1975.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s no secret I am a huge “Raiders” fan, (we just lost Keith Alison) this is from Mark’s solo career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Oh Holy Night”<\/u><\/em><\/strong>
Gary Puckett 1971<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born 17 October 1942 in Hibbing, MN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He went to school with Robert Zimmerman. Gary was with “The Union Gap” rom 1967 to 1970<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gary was an acquaintance of mine in the 90s- 2000s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Christmas Bop”<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marc Bolan & T-Rex 1975<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His band “T-Rex” was together from 1967 to 1977.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although being a huge T-Rex fan, I just stumbled on this jem earlier in the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A Merry Jingle”<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Greedies 1978<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is half of “Thin Lizzy” and half of the “Sex Pistols” after working on Johnny Thunders LP “So Alone” in June of 1978<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Cook born on 20 July 1956 in London, Eng. both were in the “Sex Pistols” from 1975 to 1978.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much like the above, I am one of the biggest Thin Lizzy fans, and only discovered this eqrlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Another Rock N Roll Christmas”<\/u><\/em><\/strong>
Gary Glitter 1984<\/p>\n\n\n\n
