A TV special I have not seen for years is The Little Drummer Boy which has to be the only Rankin/Bass show that uses the Christian aspects of Christmas for the story. It is special because the TV Christmas special story narrator is Greer Garson, One of the few female TV Christmas special story narrators in the male dominated TV Christmas special story narrator field. She holds the record for the longest Academy Award acceptance speech. Character voices are provided by Jose Ferrer, Paul Frees (aka Boris Badenov) and June Forey (aka Rocket J. Squirrel). However, I always thought a drum solo was not a very good gift for a newborn infant because it wakes them up and makes them cry. But, thankfully, a little drummer boy was never mentioned in the Bible and this is as far as I take this posting because I do not wish to violate TikiCentrals etiquette regarding religion. |
