That's hilarious, Old Doll.  I have never seen that rendition before.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Offbeat Christmas Songs

Dear Ms. Lena, that was a corker.

Reminds me of:

"Twas the night before Christmas and all through the garage - not a creature was stirring - not even the Dodge.
It's tires were hung on the wallboards with care.
In hopes the Saint Nicholas would fill them with air.

Stratplayer, I've been to Baltimore and I heard something about a nattybo.
Always wondered what a nattybo was.

Re: Offbeat Christmas Songs

Been looking up Christmas standards. Casey and I booked a December 23rd concert at his old Montessori school he attended three years ago. The kids are five and six years old so holding their attention will be a challenge.
I never knew there were so many versions of "The Little Drummer Boy"

I have a real hatred of "The Little Drummer Boy" tune, or at least the schmaltzy ray conniff versions, bordering on the psychotic. 

But, that was wonderful, whoever the guitarist was in that clip, he does a version that I seriously like.  It may be weird, but as Duke Ellington said, "If it sounds good, it is good."  And that was dang good!
