Winter Wonderland - Felix Bernard Arr. Calvin Custer
A huge hit many times over--thanks to recordings by performers like Guy Lombardo, Johnny Mathis, Ella Fitzgerald, Perry Como, Elvis Presley and even Ringo Starr--Winter Wonderland is undoubtedly the best known of composer Felix Bernard's pop songs. We're grateful to Calvin Custer, a talented multi-instrumentalist who composed in many styles, for the swingy orchestral arrangement of this tune we're performing for you today.
