Oh the Dylan.
A surprisingly good album.
Yeah, that opening line was great. The first Dylan song you played was the only one I had heard before.
Hey RJ,
Forgot to ask, which was the one song you had heard?
And that was a funny opening comment, a total ad-lib, lol!
Totally forgot to say that the Bruce Coburn song needs to be covered by The Boss. That song is taylor-made for Springsteen.
The ORIGINAL Dylan song and the regifting song were darn good. Surprise, surprise.
Sadly, the rest brought on another painful memory....
It was Christmas Eve. I was 9 years old. Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn't home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That's when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He'd been climbing down the chimney... his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus.
Thanks again, Mike!
And you guaranteee a white Xmas? You shipping out free coke to everyone?
Loved the opening comment about having traditions but no standards. Priceless.
Now see, I have only heard one song you played today, but I like this half better than the first half. All the songs were really good, except maybe that opening track. Heck, I even liked the songs by Dylan. And of course, you worked a Tom Paxton song in (a nice little tune). I'm also a fan of Dwight Yoakam, so I liked Run Run Rudolph too.
On any other day, Bruce Coburn's The Cry Of A Tiny Babe would easily win the Golden Pell. But today I just have to give it to The Alice Project for Re-gifting. Those are two great tunes that I'd love to have (is that a clear enough hint for ya?)
Great show.
There are no birthdays today
