Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer

First hearing of Burl Ives singing this song. This story is a triumph for modern storytelling.. there's always tomorrow, is up there with Over the rainbow being fraught with possibilities somewhere. I think it started out as an advertising campaign, but in terms of claymation it is a masterpiece. Having the soundtrack since I was tiny, I noticed immediately that one side had vocals and one side was instrumental. And this was part of my love affair with Christmas orchestras. I used to think that side was so boring, but now I live Christmas because I get to hear violins.
