Rockin� around the Xmas tree

Maybe it�s some sort of weird virus I�ve caught, or a previously suppressed gene suddenly expressing itself like there�s no tomorrow. Whatever the reason, I�ve become obsessed with Xmas music. Not, I hasten to add, the moldy old lugubrious carols that make ya wanna open a vein every time you hear them � and you will be hearing them, from now right on up until 12:01 AM December 26th. Perish the thought. No, I�m talking about fun music. Or, if we must stick with the old standbys, then fun arrangements.

It all began last year. Now, as the holidays approach like that inevitable freight train barreling down on Wile E. Coyote any time he stepped near the railroad tracks, I find myself searching out new Xmas tunage. I can�t help myself. It�s sad, really.

Of course I�ll be putting together a mix tape. Or, if we can actually get the CD burner up & running again, I�ll burn a CD. Knowing me, I will probably do both. If you�re interested, drop me a line & I�ll see if I can�t make some extras. Don�t look for anything soon, though, since I�m still shopping. I've yet to find that Joan Jett version of �The Little Drummer Boy� that I know is out there.
