’Tis the season in the entertainment world when TV channels bombard us with round-the-clock Christmas movies while radio stations across the country add holiday music to their daily playlists. In the latter case, one song has traditionally been considered naughty or nice, depending on who you ask.
Elmo Shropshire didn’t write “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer,” but he’s been singing it since first hearing the ditty in Lake Tahoe in the late 1970s. In fact, he should be touring the East Coast now, performing it.
“Usually from early November through Christmas I play with a group of fantastic musicians called The Holiday Express,” said Shropshire by phone from, coincidently, Lake Tahoe where he and wife Pam are vacationing. “Normally, I would be playing a hundred shows with anywhere from 300 to 1,000 in the audience.”
