Here we are at the very end of the holiday season. (Well, it IS the very end, if you factor in when radio stations started playing Christmas music – was it August this year?) Anyhoo, it’s a Very Special CHAIN OF HITS #61 … only because there will never be another 61st Chain of Hits. This one reverts back to the Chart Catch-All genre. Shot like an arrow from me to you. And there’s also a Very Very Special yuletide-themed Beatles Brain-Buster. So, holly jolly, and all that. And like the slave-driving farmer said to his lazy farm hand … “Hoe! Hoe! Hoe!”
