[Update: The location is approximately 117 Main Street. Take a virtual walk via Google Maps here. This was Emily Brontë‘s old stomping ground.]

Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town, The Harmony Grits (1959) When The Drifters were fired by their manager after an incident at the Apollo Theater, they were immediately replaced by members of The 5 Crowns. Clyde McPhatter had begun a solo career, so the others, Gerhard and Andrew Thrasher with Bill Pinkney and Little David Baughan(?) formed The Harmony Grits, as their former manager owned rights to The Drifters name. They recorded two songs before renaming themselves The Original Drifters. [More on the story here.]
Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town was first recorded by Harry Reser and His Orchestra, with vocal by Tom Stacks (1934).

The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band in 2012: “The video was shot in one day in Brown County, IN on the hottest day in Southern Indiana history.”

I caught up on my missed naps today and ran out of time to do much Utoob mining or write up. Not quite ready for Christmas music either. Have a great weekend and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.
Vukovar, Yugoslavia in 1992 during the Croatian War of Independence.
The Battle of Vukovar was an 87-day siege of Vukovar in eastern Croatia by the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA), supported by various paramilitary forces from Serbia, between August and November 1991.
[…]
During the battle, shells and rockets were fired into the town at a rate of up to 12,000 a day. At the time, it was the fiercest and most protracted battle seen in Europe since 1945, and Vukovar was the first major European town to be entirely destroyed since the Second World War.
A 2013 discussion on Reddit includes analyses of this and other photos found in this collection, and suggests that the Santa photo may have been Yugoslav staged propaganda.
[Image found here indicates a date of 1991.]
There are other versions of the same scene with different buttons, so there’s likely a “color by button” pattern book out there somewhere.
