    Here is a list of the songs in this medley. I hope that you enjoy it.
    Sleigh Ride - Leroy Anderson (1948)
    Frosty the Snowman - Walter Rollins and Steve Nelson (1950)
    Here Comes Santa Claus - Gene Autrey (1947)
    It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year - Edward Pola and George Wyle (1963)
    We Need a Little Christmas (from the musical Mame) - Jerry Herman (1966)
    Santa Claus is Coming to Town - J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie (1934)
    Christmas Time is Here - Vince Guaraldi (1965)
    Sleigh Ride - Conclusion
    This medley was arranged by a man named Alan Dale who made a video of it 17 years ago which can be found on UA-cam. As far as I know, nobody else has ever made a recording of it. I really like many of the songs that Alan Dale arranged. He used to play on a riverboat.

      Not only can he play better than most kids his age (better than some adults, even!), he has a gorgeous smile, but he’s also a fountain of musical information!!
      Leander, The Great!!!

    Wow! You know how to play fast! I liked your transition from Santa Claus is Comin' to Town to Christmas Time is Here! It sure is with your colored lights and Santa Hat! 🎅 Leander, I wondered if your hands, fingers, wrists, and arms ever hurt? You have very upright posture at the piano. Your hands are still quite young. I just wondered if you do any warm up exercises with your arms, shoulders and so forth. There's another pianist online who likes Ragtime as much as you! I'll bet you already know of Adam Swanson. If not, I'm sure you both will admire each other's dedication to playing good piano music! Are the photos on your piano your grandparents? I keep a photo of my grandmother on her Singer Sewing machine that I think was made in the same years as some of your Ragtime favorites. Well, Merry and Happy Holidays for now! I'm looking forward to your next video. Bless you and your loved ones always! ❤✨💚✨🎄✨🎹🎶✨🙏🕊️

      To do that you need a way to have direct contact with his parents. I understand why not; the gentleman that I personally know for 30 years is interested in him. So if I can work a contact out, I would pass it on. Michael Allen has asked me where he lives and I can't answer him yet. May God bless your Christmas.
