(09:54):
All right, well, Twitter Bird and now are up strolling
around through toy Land Town. And uh, and the toy
Bird ask me about a character in the album called
Happy the Christmas Clown. And Happy the Christmas Clown is
one of Santa's many helpers, but he's a special one.
He is the one who chooses the pretty Christmas paper
(10:14):
that you see that your presents are wrapped in. And
he personally wraps all the presents for all the little
boys and girls out there, and that's why they look
so pretty. He spends a lot of time. He looks
so tired too. Yeah, and the twenty Bird is wanting
to meet Happy with the Christmas Clown, and I say, well,
I think he's over at Santa's workshop. Let's stroll on
over there and see if he's in there. And sure enough,
we walk through the door and and we run into
(10:36):
happy the Christmas clown, and this song tells about that.
I guess he's there with a parent of sticker, a
pair of scissors, and some gum tape and things like that. Yeah,
he's got all of his stuff together there and he's
wrapping presents. You know, Rudolph is only one of Santa's helpers.
There are a lot of others. In fact, Santa had
so many gifts to be wrapped, he gave that job
to a very special clown. Let's go in Santa's workshop
(10:59):
and see if you can. Family boyd Twoody Bird. Look
at all those closts. Yeah, I never seen so many coins,

joy Chistmas waiting on a baking at you and me
happy the tree.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I believe that's a song that is new and that
you wrote. Yeah, I wrote the song back in about
nineteen sixty and my kids were small in and they
would ask me all kinds of questions about about Santa
Claus and you, having never at that point in time
been to the North Pole or the toile in town
(13:58):
had I kind of had to go by what my
father had told me, you know. And I heard the
story and told them the story of this special clown.
That one of the things I always want to know
is who wraps those presidents, you know, Santa Claus makes
them and all that who wraps them? And so I
told them about Happy the Christmas Clown, decided I'd write
a little song about it. So you mean you wrote
(14:18):
this for your kids, right? So this song is certainly
not new to them. They remember, they remember a lot
of the stuff on this album. Yeah, all right, you've
heard Conway Twitty and Happy the Christmas Clown up next
on our Ralph Emery Get Together, Our Barbara Mandreu and
Steve Warner and I wanted to play this song because

Now open the drawer where you keep your best cutting
knives and tell me, honestly, do you see even one
knife in there with a fifty year guarantee? Well, if
you do, chances are you own a set of Ginsoux knives,
(18:12):
the only set of knives in the world tough enough
to carry such an incredible guarantee. And if you don't,
then you don't know what you're missing. You know, a
while back, the folks that sell these Gensou Knives send
me a set to try, and I got to tell
you this is one product no country kitchen should be without.
Whether you're cutting up steak, slicing melon, or for laying
fresh catfish, Ginsu's razor sharp surgical stainless steel blades will

first dual edge chef's knife with both a straight edge
and a serrated edge to help you cut even the
toughest slicing jobs down to size. You'll get an oriental

fast you'll be amazed. And you get a long slicing
(18:55):

Gensu two also comes with two pairing knives, so you
always have one handy. A utility knife so tough and
