About this album: "The Norad Tracks Santa" tradition goes back to the late 1950s when a young boy accidentally dialed the unlisted number of the Director Combat Operations at NORAD Headquarters in Colorado Springs. The boy was actually trying to phone a department store Santa Claus whose extension was only one digit removed from the phone at the NORAD Center.
The Combat Operations Center Director was quick to realize that a mistake had been amde, and carried on a long conversation with the boy, assuring him that the forces of NORAD would indeed guarantee Santa a safe trip from the North Pole.
A novel idea and tradition was thus born, and you have the results of it inside this cd...a series of spots citing the progress of Santa as he makes his annual journey down through the space tracking and radar facilities of the North American Air Defense Command.
To follow his unusual flight plan, we must call up all the resources at NORAD's disposal...The Canadian Forces Air Defence Command, the US Army Air Defense Command, and the US Air Force's Aerospace Defense Command. Two nations and three services working together for mutual protection.
The music of the album features the NORAD Commanders, of the finest big bands in the world playing their original variations of traditional Christmas themes.
