This was my brother, Billy's favorite song he died in 1948 at 14 years old

[@hotrodtrucker88]

doesn't get any better Christmas song than this

[@MrTenbrooks]

I watched this video about 1000 times while mobilized in Tillil Iraq. Sure made me wanna come home and spend the Holidays with my family!!

[@steelandwoodbluegrass2270]

Thank you🙏

[@YellowstoneJoe]

It is nice to see Dale Morris playing fiddle on KZbin. We were friends in Fort Worth in 1963. He used to sing quite a bit....very good singer. He won many fiddling contests. His younger brother Terry may have been one of the best fiddlers ever....PERIOD!

[@margiehale1312]

Brings back so many Christmas’ memories when I was a young girl.Moma sang it often! I ‘m sure she was thinking of her family and home!She loved Christmas!Such a good time growing up in the good old days!

[@alblakesley3284]

Thank you Bill Monroe for all the good songs u gave us

[@geldridge]

It isn't Christmas until I have heard Bill sing this...so to all my bluegrass friends "CHRISTMAS TIME'S A-COMIN'" so Merry Christmas to ya!!!!!!

[@SpookyKid_SpaceAce]

This was the "Christmas music" of my childhood, and it brings back so many good memories. It's definitely one of my favorite Christmas songs of all time

[@maryjaneadkisson]

I had this song played at my Daddy's funeral. He passed 12-10-2013. This was his favorite song. When we were kids and this song was playing on the radio, we were demanded to roll all windows down and sing it out as loud as we were able. I miss you very much Daddy. And Christmas time is Coming!

[@mtblondie0036]

Sorry for your loss as well..its the Same here my dad loved it as well .played it everyday on our Christmas break lol oh I miss him 5yrs this November

[@amywalker3267]

I watch and listen to this every Christmas. I also go around singing the song as I am getting ready for Christmas. It wouldn't be Christmas without it!!

[@Tennessee608]

Beautiful Christmas song.Listen to it every year

[@SMBrandt1]

I miss Bill Monroe more every day since he dided in 1994. I remember and met Tex Logan many years ago as well. he was a great fiddler that worked with Monroe. SMB

[@johnyoung468]

Stephen Brandt Mr. Monroe died Sept.9,1996,Just five days before his 85th birthday.

[@chasbodaniels1744]

What a nice surprise to have KZbin recommend this. I’d only ever heard it sung by Emmylou Harris, and didn’t know Mr. Monroe had been doing for a couple of decades prior.

[@johnsinnott2076]

I love blue grass and this song puts a smile 😊 on my face 🎄🎅☘️🇮🇪☘️🙏☝️🍺☘️

One of my Dad's faves... "turn it up... turn it up" (can't listen to it any other way!)

Same as when I was a little boy.

[@SpookyKid_SpaceAce]

Yup this is the song of my childhood

[@elmelw]

I knew Dale had played with some great artist but had no idea about Bill Monroe. Dale, you're awesome!

[@kennygirard249]

My Mother(Ginny Farmer) was best friends with Tex. They used to play fiddle together a lot in Boston when Tex was teaching at MIT. Tex later joined the Lilly Bros and Don Stover. Tex was from New Jersey. lol

Master mandolin picker,bill Monroe

[@riv4life618]

Thank you so, so much for posting this! I love it and my gam says it doesn't feel like Christmas til she hears this so I played it to her over the phone, lol. Its not easy to find this anymore, much less see it done live. This is pure gold!!!

[@Drew-Hill]

My family and I listen to this song every year. It makes me sad to miss my parents, but I’m happy to spend the time with my wife and boys.

I'm tickled to find out Tex Logan wrote it. Also intrigued to learn he was a scientist (checked for details on that: Logan studied au MIT and Columbia and had a PhD in electrical engineering.

That is Dale Morris on the fiddle. He is a very talented musician. Too bad there are no videos on KZbin of him singing.

[@wudnhed58]

Wish I knew the date of this video. I'm guessing early 70s. We used to watch the Ralph Emory show before school on snow days to see if school was cancelled.

[@TruegrassBoy]

I sure like Wayne Lewis' singing!

[@LP61RI]

It isn't Christmas to me unless I hear this song. Even better to hear it on WSM.

[@44Snyder]

Always liked the Jerry Reed version of this...seldom hear it on the radio anymore...

[@57tele]

People tend to think this music is simple, but just try counting along and figure out where the measures start and end.

[@MichaelGreen65]

By Dale, do you mean Dale Potter on fiddle? I know that's Tater Tater Tater Tate, as Mr. Monroe sometimes called him, on bass, with Wayne Lewis on guitar and Blake Williams on banjo, so it would be somewhere around 1984-86, in there.

[@poindexful]

BANJO??? The all time best!

Yes! I do believe that IS George W. Bush on fiddle! Very astute discovery bluegras32. Did you also notice that Dick Cheney is on banjo?

not the best version here but when i was listening to today while putting up my shed i was like "ok christmas song hurry it up , its march ". then something about the lyric s when he sang " cant walk for running , christmas times a coming" i shit my pants and did and encore of the song. good stuff

Love the Dolly version too

Dang, that's a mandolin. To sound like that over an SM-58 mic. Hope it gets played now and then.

Anyone know when this was recorded? This clip's all over the internet, but I don't see a date anywhere...

[@rhondaowens5282]

my best guess is early 70's

[@Banjoey1]

The Ralph Emery Show aired from 1983-1993. My best guess is that this clip is from the mid to late 80's

I've known and respected Dale Morris since the 90's when he was part of our Texas Opry Band, however I did not know that he played with The granddaddy of Blue Grass Music Mr. Bill Monroe! I think it is ironic that I find that out from Dale Morris Jr. Who is part of our current Texas Opry Band THE AMAZING MADE IN TEXAS SHOW TIME BAND at The Texas Opry Theater in Weatherford, Texas. www.texasoprytheater.com

[@MrMusicguyma]

I like Tex Logan's song and Bill Monroe's rendition. From my perspective of years of watching Nashville Now, Ralph Emery seems to me to be the most pretentious individual ever to speak into a mike. Officious and petty with monumental self-regard for precious little reason. Just sayin'

[@DavidStanleymusic]

Americana 100% proof

[@relimes]

Jimmy Carter playin the mandilin.

[@blugras32]

Is that George W. Bush playing fiddle ? (I know it's not, but it sure looks like him)

[@woodbutcherjohn]

@Banjoey1 Here's another one! Does anyone else think that Ricky Scaggs looks like Newt Gingrich? It's uncanny! I bet they're related.

[@WildwoodvalleyBoy]

Bill, apparently, forgets which verse to start with!

[@ksr9t]

Yeah 6969 my dad would say the same thing when a song he liked came on

[@riv4life618]

@blugras32 It does look like him, but I figure it's not cause he couldn't even eat a pretzel right, much less play fiddle good enough to be a Bluegrass Boy, lol

great music...inspired me to have a go...not as good as mr monroe but check me out anyway..thanks
