In 1939 Marks' brother-in-law, Robert L. May, created the character Rudolph as an assignment for Montgomery Ward, and Marks decided to adapt the story of Rudolph into a song. While May was pondering how best to craft a Christmas story about a reindeer, while staring out his office window in downtown Chicago, a thick fog from Lake Michigan blocked his view — giving him a flash of inspiration. “Suddenly I had it!" he recalled. "A nose! A bright red nose that would shine through fog like a spotlight.” Marks (1909–1985) was a radio producer who also wrote several other popular Christmas songs. The current copyright owner is Kobalt Music Group. The guitar played is a Teton Classical with electronics available here: http://folkworldmusicstore.mybigcommerce.com/teton/
