Tom Waselchuk, guitarist for the Highlights, recently produced a music video of a wonderful holiday song composed in 1956 by Dan Schuffman, who happens to be Tom’s father-in-law. The song is called Christmas Is Love and Dan wrote it when he was working as a director and writer at ABC TV in Chicago. The song was never marketed back then, but when Tom heard the song a few years ago, he knew it was something special. Christmas Is Love has a terrific melody and lyrics that paint an idyllic scene of Currier & Ives imagery. The song is the equal, in our opinion, of Mel Torme’s The Christmas Song. Plus, Tom and Rich Larson, the Highlights drummer, both play on the video! Click here to watch at YouTube or just enjoy it below performed by Maggie Pothoff of Harmonious Wail.
We hope you like it and we invite and encourage you to share it with other holiday music-loving friends.
