I watched this the other night! Tennessee Ernie Ford did a great job on narrating and singing in Rankin/Bass' The Mouse on the Mayflower. He also had a good Christmas TV special with designs by Eyvind Earle (of Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty fame) 🎅 #tennesseeernieford #thestoryofchristmas #nbc #christmas #eyvindearle

Before Tennessee Ernie Ford narrated RANKIN/BASS' MOUSE ON THE MAYFLOWER, he was well associated with the holidays! I picked up this sealed LP at a HALF PRICE BOOK STORE recently and the DVD pictured about 5 years ago. The DVD features his December 22, 1963 NBC TV special sponsored by General Mills and it is illustrated with the beautiful artwork of famed Disney artist Eyvind Earle (SLEEPING BESUTY, FANTASIA). Great stuff!
