With this installment the curtain comes down not only on a TPC Christmas Trilogy of episodes but also Season One of the Chronicles.
It’s focus is the music of the season sung by choirs, played on phonographs & heard on every radio station regardless of genre. It’s a rich concoction of tunes and melodies that draws from its own roots becoming beloved standards of today.
It will also drill down on the huge variety of toys found by Boomer Youth promoted in the commercials of their favorite television shows, hawked by their stars, and appearing full color on the pages of Sears Wish Book & Penney’s Christmas Catalog.
Together they make another nostalgic chapter in the TPC podcast series.
It’s the final effort in Season One.
Hope you enjoy it.
And that it adds to the blessings of this season for you & yours.
