"Here Comes Suzy Snowflake"

Also, "Hardrock, Coco and Joe."

This was a bit of a throwback, but yesterday, at Terry Spizzirri's show at AJ's Horsin' Around Saloon in Round Lake Park, Illinois, I yelled to terry to play something to do with snow in honor of the 45th anniversary of the Great Chicago Snowfall of '67/Blizzard of '67.

That stumped him for a bit, but suddenly half the bar broke out singing "Here Comes Suzy Snowflake." Definitely an older crowd.

Now, you had to be an oldster from Chicago to remember this seasonal song as it was played during the 50s and 60s a lot during winter and Christmas. They definitely didn't use or have much in the way of special effects, and, to tell the truth was a bit corny, but it is a part of our past.

And, we sure got a lot of Suzy Snowflake and her friends back 45 years ago.

In addition, there was this great video of "Hardrock, Coco and Joe."

You can see both on YouTube.

Go away, Suzy!! --DaCoot
