My father and I became friends with Tennessee Ernie Ford in his last years of life. He gifted me a couple albums which were mostly gospel he had done. He is one of my most listened to gospel artist alongside Bocelli. I also had the honor of escorting his body back home when he passed away in DC. Christmas music I have to go with Trans-Siberian orchestra, Bing Crosby and older mormon tabernacle choir and Rush’s favorites he had on his program.
I agree about TSO. We’ve even been to a concert or two. LOUD!
