It's time for another Friday Photo Flashback. As we get closer to the Christmas holiday, I picked another Christmas photo to look at. It is from 1974. I found this on a hard drive.

Now I Never Have to Go There

I Bought It … For ME!

You can read that blog here: https://nostalgicitalian.com/2020/12/09/a-musical-childhood-christmas-memory/ One of the songs on their second album was called Wonderful Day.
