At an early age he got married to a Virginia Travis who was 16 at the time. Virginia and their first born son passed away during childbirth. “It all started because of Johnson's uncanny mastery of the guitar. A small-boned man with long, slightly webbed fingers, Johnson earned respect and kept fights at bay with his astonishing musicianship. Johnson may have had eidetic memory for music -- the ability to hear and then recall music with unusual precision.
My all-time favorite song from Colbie is Bubbly. That song had me dancing and singing with her. What I did notice Colbie isn’t a dancer she is more a guitar player. I love the fact that Colbie does know how to play the guitar. It’s amazing how the artist can play and sing at the same time.
The song, which started with an electric guitar riff, immediately grabbed the crowd’s attention. The guitar sounded funky and very jazzy. After a few measures, the trumpet, drums, and bass added to the guitar sound. They continued to jam this song for about ten minutes.

Get ready for candy, cookies and chocolate milk, every…single…day. In this performance, I will show how children turn the table on grown-ups, and give them a taste of their own medicine.

Evidently his argument that it was beneath his dignity fell on deaf ears, because the following Christmas "A Visit from St. Nicholas" found its way into the mass media after all when a family member cunningly submitted it to an out-of-town newpaper. The author mentions that as the years progressed, the Santa advertisement for the Coca-Cola Company had numerous images by many different artists. Most of the Santa art of the past featured Santa as the main subject. However, as the years continued, Santa plays an important part of the Christmas scene, but elves, children, pets and toys also have significant roles.
The holly, jolly, red-clad elf is a common story often told to children during the holiday season. Though used with the thought of spreading an extra hint of joy to further help in the Christmas spirit, there are some points that even a child would find fault with. A man with an army of elves creates toys in the North Pole year-round, and then he delivers these toys all around the world in one night by riding in a sleigh drawn by eight flying reindeer and squeezing through chimneys.
