KZSM — Celebrating the holidays with you
KZSM — Celebrating the holidays with you
Here in San Marcos and around the country, holiday lights, trees, and decorations are appearing—sometimes earlier than usual, given our need for warmth and cheer as this difficult year comes to a close. We at KZSM.org will unpack our tree and decorate our storefront window at 216 North Guadalupe, as our program hosts prepare shows to honor the season. Thursday, December 10, 3-4 p.m. host Paul Wilson of “Philosophy and Popular Music” will welcome songwriter Randy Brooks, who wrote “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.” Cohost Steve Jones has known Brooks for over twenty years and recalls his “great stories about his early days touring Vietnam with the USO and other gigs around the US.” On the show, Brooks will undoubtedly tell the story of performing his satirical Christmas song with Elmo and Patsy Shropshire at a Lake Tahoe resort. The couple’s 1979 recording of the song became a monster hit, and “spawned an animated Christmas special, musical toys, ornaments, greeting cards, apparel, video games, a branded hot chocolate mix, a Tesla dashboard app, and inflatable yard abominations,” according to Brooks’ website. Though he jokingly accepts being “remembered for just one thing,” Brooks also sings and plays bass with The Bad Monkeys and the Americana group Young Country. 12/06/2020 05:00 AM

A Word About Recycling
A Word About Recycling
(Starting this with a personal note.) I ended my last week’s column saying I would be heading up to Minnesota for Thanksgiving and the Holidays, and thus may not be able to submit these columns for a while... that was pre-mature; I ended up not going when I intended. 12/06/2020 05:00 AM
The Journey Continues
The Journey Continues:
My journey towards Christmas has taken me to the iconic Red Kettles Campaign of the Salvation Army which provides opportunity to share one’s time, funds, and talents. My wife Judy and I make it a practice to ring the bell at Christmas; we shared a 10-hour stint last Friday at Cabela’s in Buda. I feel warmth by the spirit when I share willingly with others. Ringing the bell is an investment not only for those in need but also for me — a “pay it forward” as responsible adults for the many blessings I have received. 12/06/2020 05:00 AM
