Local 85-year-old spreads holiday cheer with his Christmas song | HOUSTON LIFE | KPRC 2

He got his own Christmas miracle two years ago when a yuletide song he wrote in 1965 was played on local radio for the first time. But this holiday season, 85-year-old Johnny Gondesen has another dream for his track “Christmas is here.” The local great-grandfather joined Houston Life with the story of how his song found an audience after it was played on 104.1 KRBE’S Roula and Ryan Show in 2019, and he performed the track live in our studio.
