Abstract:
During his long and productive career, Donald Yetter Gardner (1913-2004) played various musical instruments, directed church choirs, wrote contemporary church anthems and led many community-sponsored choral events. Additionally, he penned a number of popular spirituals, including "Man Shall Not Live By Bread Alone," and "O Give Thanks Unto the Lord". He was noted for his varied musical accomplishments, but he was best known for composing what was to become an international childrens holiday favorite, "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth".
