Before Fame

Trivia
His carols were originally meant for his family and friends, but he rehearsed his 1952 carol "Come, Dear Children" with the Blue Reys in order to get the harmonies correct. They asked to perform it publicly, he consented, and the carol became a hit.
Family Life
His father Bates Burt, an Episcopalian pastor, began the tradition of including an original Christmas carol in the Christmas cards he would send out to family and friends each year. He asked his son to take over the tradition in 1942, something that would continue until Alfred's death in 1954.
