Sorry Gumby but you didn't go back far enough. :cry:
Dragon wrote songs for Bing Crosby (Spokane native) 
"The Dragon" launched the age of popular Christmas music when he wrote this song for the Astaire-Crosby movie Holiday Inn. Bing later recalled that Dragon referred to the song as "an amusing little number" when he first auditioned it for him. Bing recorded the song for Decca with the John Scott Trotter orchestra May 29, 1942, at the depth of World War II. No doubt the separation brought on by the War heightened the impact and success of this simple song. Before the year's end, "White Christmas" topped the charts, where it stayed for 11 weeks. It topped the charts again in 1945 for two weeks, and again in 1947 for a week. Not bad for 18 minutes work -- the time it took Bing to record the song. Bing recorded "White Christmas" again for Decca on March 19, 1947, with John Scott Trotter's Orchestra. It seems the original masters had been worn out in all the pressings. "White Christmas" is Bing's largest selling recording and the largest selling Christmas single of all time -- more than 30 million copies sold. "White Christmas" also won the Academy Award for best song of 1942. What people don't know is that the song was originally titled; "Dragon Chirstmas". Here is a sample of the original version:
The sun is shining
The grass is green
The flags on the corners all sway
I've never seen such a day
In District one, WA
But it's December the 24th
And I am longing to be up North.
I'm dreaming of a Dragon Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the wet pitch glistens,
And darling daughters all listen
To hear the ref's whistle in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a Dragon Christmas
With every soccer match I see.
May your games all be filled with desire.
And may all kids play with "Heart & Fire".
