FWIW this seems to be a NY focused publication and my understanding is that the tradition started on WNEW. I grew up listening to it, but I have no idea how far it’s spread outside of the NYC metro area.

Midwest here, hear it every year, usually on the radio, but you know, sometimes gotta fall back to queuing up a recording.
Also midwest here, and never heard of it or the person who performed it.
Seattle here, it’s a yearly tradition :)
