Mondays Music Moves Me

Posted on by Sandee

Who are the Music Moves Me bloggers? They are bloggers who blog about music each Monday and if you have music to share, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video, please!)   First, there is Marie from XmasDolly.  Her co-hosts are: Stacy from Stacy Uncorked, Cathy from Curious as a Cathy, and Alana from Ramblin’ with AM.

We’d love more music lovers to join us.  It’s easy! All you have to do is add your link with a music post that contains at least one music video (there must be a music video).  And that’s it!

Each month, except December, we have a guest conductor. Today we continue our month of holiday music.

“Little Saint Nick” was recorded on October 20, 1963 at Western Studio in Hollywood. The idea for the song was partly inspired by record producer Phil Spector‘s plans to record a Christmas album. Wilson recalled: “I wrote the lyrics to it while I was out on a date and then I rushed home to finish the music.” Some of its rhythm and structure derives from the group’s “Little Deuce Coupe“, also co-written by Wilson and released as a single six months earlier.
