Rudolph Baby
Secular Rudolph Baby
An acoustic guitar playing a Blues in E was the first version of “Rudolph” back in 1981. When I heard Booker T’s version of “Merry Christmas Baby”, this version hollered in my head… “Rudolph Baby” was debuted at “The Joseph Smith Memorial Bldg.” in SLC, UT, 1997.

Why?
I recorded that first Blues version in a small utility room off my music room at Washington HS in Kansas. There was a good Reel-to-Reel tape machine, which I printed to cassettes for my gift. Sadly, there may not be any copies left. Guu?
