For a guy that didn't celebrate Christmas, Johnny Marks sure was prolific when it came to penning the holiday songs, including this one.
'Rockin' Around' was first recorded by Brenda Lee in 1958 and, while it is unlikely that this is the forgotten song that those Dutch boys mentioned in 'Radar Love' fifteen years later, that voice of hers certainly was, as per usual, coming on strong.
Anyway, from the vaults, here's our version of Mr. Marks' tune...

Way off topic ...
But, if I may, hark back to the dark days of the legislature's senior officer, clerk Craig James, who happened to be a central figure in Turpel-Lafond's lawsuit.
Ian Mulgrew reported:
"Last November, independent Speaker of the House Darryl Plecas suspended the legislature’s senior officer, clerk Craig James, who happens to be a central figure in Turpel-Lafond’s lawsuit.
At the centre of her lawsuit is a 2006 verbal agreement between Turpel-Lafond and James, then deputy clerk, for an “enhanced pension entitlement,” she claims was broken.
Turpel-Lafond is suing the provincial government and the Legislative Assembly after not being paid the alleged promised boosted pension and other costs she says she was entitled to, such as moving expenses.
SHE WON, but what now, in light of what is transpiring on her discredited bio

Good Grief, I thought Brenda 'Lee' Mae Tarpley was old, like my parents, but here it turns out she was born the same year as me, I, .... whatever... I AM NOT OLD
NVG--
Thanks for Ledge stuff update...
Re: Ms. Lee...I haven't looked it up, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that she's younger than the guys in Golden Earring given that they started their band in 1961 when Ms. Lee was just 17...

Golden Earrings???

Golden Earring was founded 1961 and into the '00s .....................
OK NVG, you forced me to do it...
The oldest guy in Golden Earring was born in 1946, just two years after Ms. Lee, who was born in 1944.
