Day 11 - 'Santa's Secret' - Johnny Guarnieri


Here’s one for the kids! All the way from the 1940’s – and NO smart-arse, I didn’t buy it when it first came out – the amazing thing about this is finding out exactly what ‘Santa’s Secret’ actually is. You’ll have to listen to discover yourself, of course. I can’t imagine this garnered much wireless-and-valve time back in the day, although Guarnieri must have been a bit of a known entity having played jazz piano alongside Duke Ellington and Artie Shaw. And to think they banned ‘A Day in the Life’....
2023 Update: Well, it's not exactly a BBC ban but YouTube have put an age-restriction on the song so you'll need to click on it and view it on YouTube itself (It will open in another widow).
