It was sung by Peter Auty, who grew up to become a tenor.

All our childhood books featured kids with snowballs and apple trees. Not an orange tree in sight! I also didn't see snow until I was older and we "drove to the snow" for the day up at Arrowhead. Such a funny concept to Northeasterners. <br /><br />It was truly fun to make real snowmen with Edith Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388006370860482509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-24890862070006372692012-12-22T12:52:50.265-05:002012-12-22T12:52:50.265-05:00Jeri, I have really enjoyed your spirit in additio...Jeri, I have really enjoyed your spirit in addition to loving your books. My favorite Holiday song is "Waliking in the Air" from the movie, "The Snowman." It's from a book whose author I am blocking right now. For you, December is filled with pleasure it seems. A good New Year to you!lil Glucksternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288522126331817172noreply@blogger.com
