Hello.

 I believe I e-mailed you before George Harrison died, asking you to
please consider playing some of Ringo Starr's critically acclaimed,

but ignored by radio, Chrsitmas cd, 'I Wanna Be Santa Claus'.

I know Ringo's Christmas album is a classic that deserves to be heard
by listeners. I heard the track 'Come on Christmas' from Ringo's cd
played from a float in this years Panama City Christmas parade. Last
Christmas while in Mcdonald's, I heard Ringo's 'Winter Wonderland'
being played over McDonalds radio system. I think they use the modern
version of Muzak which plays new and modern stuff that does have a
beat to it and not the music usually associated with Muzak.
Ringo's cd has a half dozen good rocking songs including a
Ringo version of 'Little Drummer Boy' with 'Back Off Boogaloo' type
drumming. I think this would be a wonderful addition to your playlist.
I look forward to hearing it on your station.

I was watching the Christmas parade that I had taped off tv and the
float just before Santa Claus had a girl play-acting on drums to songs
and the song playing as it went in front of the camera's was George
Harrisons Holiday tune called 'Ding Dong Ding Dong' (This song also
features Ringo on drums thus making it half a Beatle song anyway).
It was wonderful. I Thank you for playing John Lennon's Christmas record.

Perhaps you could consider more such music
