That old chestnut?

From Christmas Songs, The Christmas Song -- Mel Tormé (who co-wrote it):

Here's a wonderful anecdote about some youngsters singing this song with Tormé in the audience, in case you haven't read it before when I've linked to it.

I read this every time you post it. It's a fabulous story. I'd have loved to be standing watching that wet-eared kid when Mel Torme smiled at him and said, "Ninety."

That's a classic. Evanier's blog is one of my favorites. He's a good writer.
