Break a leg!

Phoenix, is that a traditional Christmas wish? I didn't know... ;-)

Merry Christmas! Fröhliche Weihnachten!

urs- That's a theatrical term. It means "good luck" to a performer!

Good night, sweet prince
And clouds of angels sing thee to thy rest.

GIGS on XMAS EVE? what unholy debaauchery is associated with this holiday? I wanna be tthere , unfortunately , nobody wants an accordion or a pedal steel.
My townie pickup group cant catch a cold, could it be that bluegrass has seen its best days? Maybe I gotta go for xydeco fans.

season's greetings bpb

A-one, a-two, a-wun-two-free-four!!!



When Christmas rolls around Santa's busy in his shop
Managing his elves and trying to cut costs
His plant is out of date it needs modernization
He has quite a large debt accumulation

Elves are expensive, they do not come cheap
And you would not believe the bills for the heat
Santa stands to lose everything he owns
If he defaults on yet another of his loans

Things are looking bad for Santa
He can slip down chimneys but he can't balance accounts
Things are looking bad for Santa
If he wrote a cheque it probably would bounce

He hires an accountant to come and advise
The accountant says that he has been unwise
Cuz even if the costs were cut down drastically
It's still hard to make money giving things away for free

Santa Claus decides to wipe the slate clean
He lays off half the elves and buys mordern machines
Then he auctions off all unnecessary stock
He gets a lot for Rudolf from Ripley's believe it or not

Things are looking bad for Santa
He's made all sorts of changes but it hasn't fixed a thing
Things are looking bad for Santa
Missus Claus has left him and the elves are picketing

Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! The big fat pig has got to go!
Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! The big fat pig has got to go!

Santa's had enough he locks the elves outside
He butchers all the reindeer and sells off all their hides
He sells his shop to Disney and leaves the north pole
To go find cheaper labour down in Mexico

Farmer, what I wouldn't give to have the sweet sounds of steel in our band...
