Merv and Marilyn Shiner

The Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, native is the singer of the beloved hit tune “Peter Cottontail,” which he performed on the Grand Ole Opry at Eastertime in 1950. He cut the single on the advice of Country Music Hall of Fame producer Paul Cohen, who said it would “make him a star.” The song was written by Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins, who also composed “Frosty the Snowman.”
Prior to the success of the song, Shiner had performed as part of a duo with his mother, appearing at shows/festivals as well as on radio programs. Over the next several decades Shiner continued to record and write; he also worked as a concert producer. He toured the country & played at a variety of venues. Shiner moved to Florida in the 1970s, & retired in 1997. In September of 2015 Shiner was honored with a display at the Martin Guitar Museum. Shiner continues to perform, these days with his wife Marilyn as the M&M Duo.  You've found the channel which features these beautiful duets and timeless stories.
