Re: Jim Reeves Christmas TV Appearances

There was nothing on Jim's schedule to indicate that he ever sang Christmas songs on television after he recorded the LP. However, he did make a lot of appearances on locally-telecast TV programs around the country, some of which were previously unknown until I discovered them in my research. It's theoretically possible he might have sung some Christmas music on TV (in previous years). I would also imagine he'd do that in his live shows on tour during the holiday season. I never thought to ask Leo Jackson this question; he would surely have known the answer. I have copies of some of Jim's notebooks he carried with him in the early days of his singing career, which contained his own handwritten lyrics to various songs that he'd sing in his live shows. Included was one called "Christmas Alone." (I reproduced this in one of my CDs). So it's a certainty he did sing seasonal music on the road.
