Ruth Lyons Christmas Recordings (Cincinnati: buy, donations, money)

[tntnb]

Here's an interesting series of articles about Ruth Lyons, focusing on her Christmas recordings. I thought some old-timers like me would like to read this. (Under age 40 or so? Ask around about who she was):

You can also do a search on you tube and see a few of her shows from the 50's with Willie Thall.

I;m sitting here looking at her book "Remember With Me". It was in my granmother's collection and, for some reason, I wanted it when she passed.... not sure why.

Thank you so much for the links! I grew up in Cincinnati and loved her show and especially "Have a Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas" - every Christmas I think about it.

Here are a couple of Ruth Lyons Christmas songs that will be familiar to many long-time Cincinnatians:

Ruby Wright singing "Have a Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas" can be found here:

Remember the old "Holiday Hello" shows on WLWT with Ruth and the gang?

I have enjoyed this very much !!! I grew up in Cincinnati, when I was about 4 I was in the Childrens Hospital for a few days because of surgery...the first thing they did was give me a doll that was because of the Ruth Lyons Christmas Fund. I keep that doll with me and brought it home, they had play rooms for the kids and everything.
Although she is gone the fund is still running I think it might have a different name though. It is definately a fund that I would support if able. I am going to check on it and see what kind of donations they would like besides money, I think some of us could buy a few toys from time to time and send them to the right place. Hyden
