Guy I know just told me his dad played chess with the guy who wrote the song. Turns out that guy's brother-in-law wrote the story.

I think this would make a charming holiday season documentary. Tell the story about these guys and how they created and sold this classic, Cover the artists covering the song, movies, cartoons, toys etc.

I'd watch it. Billion hits on Youtube no problem. You'd stand to make, twelve, thirteen bucks easy.

Merry Christmas everybody!

Can you imagine the looks people would give when this guy said "I wrote Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer"? Like "Uhhh, sure..." as they sort of take a couple of steps back in case this delusional guy is dangerous.

Could be quite a moving story, if their lives were such. Be something I would watch on PBS maybe. Anyway, a sweet idea and a happy holiday to you, d3.
