Jackie Gleason

[Teasing the Korean]

I am sadly saying goodbye to the holiday season, watching the B&0 F3 A&B units pull a final freight train around the tree, sipping some Jim Beam Bourbon on ice, and listening to the saddest Christmas album ever made, Merry Christmas from Jackie Gleason.  A perfect album as late afternoon turns to evening.

Is the train saying, "And awaaaaaayyyy we go!!!"?

Have you seen the film of Gleason moving his operation from New York to Miami via a non-stop party on a train? It was a spectacle, anything but sad, music provided by Pee Wee Hunt.

But that Jingle Bells is certainly melancholic, to put it mildly. Hooch mixed with Seconal, perhaps, in just the right measure.

NO, is it on the InterTubes?

Check out his reading of "Santa Claus is Coming' to Town!"

I saw it on a documentary, not sure where. But it does exist and is worth hunting for.

This?

It's been a while, but that's, I think, some of it? But the doc I saw might have had extra shots...I remember some party footage on the train while it was in motion that were just insane. Women with a drink in one hand and a shake everywhere else.

Then again, I remembered Pee Wee Hunt instead of Phil Napoleon, so I'm not swearing to this. But 65% certain at this time.
