Midweek Stuff

Tonight it was The Allman Brothers from 2003 at The Beacon Theater courtesy of my local PBS station. Having had the pleasure of seeing this band live in person many times over the past 40 years in their many incarnations these guys always rock. Their touring line up for 09 is one of the best in recent history. I’m tempted to catch them at the art center next month but I don’t do so well in crowds these days, I guess I’ll pass.

Hmmm, the portrait project turned out to be a snapshot of me by me taken in the car today while I waited for my roommate at the clinic. It’s not like anyone is gonna frame it or anything as long as they know what I look like once I clear customs that is all that matters.

My “cheap sunglasses” arrived a few days early. 10 AM yesterday morning to be exact. The hard-shell zipper case was an added plus.

No-Pod Shuffle

We now return to my regularly unscheduled blogging format of none of the hits all of the time, at least for a while. I’m tired of HIPPA release forms, DMV forms, Court orders, blah, blah, blah I’ll get back to them soon enough but now, music.

Number one on my No-Pod (generic MP3 player) this week is: Fort Knox  by Goldfish

Better known as one of the five different tunes used in five different versions of this commercial:

I’ll bet I could get some great pictures if I had those guys to drive me around. I guess a snap of my late night snack will have to do for now.

And one of my No-Pod, till next time:

A Santa Song

As yet another holiday season unfolds before our eyes I wanted to do something a little different this year.

What better way to celebrate then with a song. Not just any song would do, with a little help (thank you Rollye) I located the lyrics and video to this gem:

I’ve got some presents for Santa
and he’s got a big one for me
While outside it snows
I take off all my clothes
and wait for Santa underneath my tree

He squeezes into my hot chimney
where it’s oh, so warm and tight
On the roof I hear his reindeer
I’m so very glad he came here
It’s only once a year
but..what a night

Santa Claus takes a pause
from his long night of delivering
His big ‘north pole’
can sure get cold
His jolly butt’s all shivering

I offer Santa my ‘cookies’
He loves to put them into his mouth
His long beard tickles
It gives me the giggles
He finishes his snack
and then flies South

Ooh! Santa! I love my present!
What else is in that big bag of yours?

Santa and I share a ciggie
and I help him back into his red suit
I know he has to go
He just says, “Ho Ho Ho”
I can’t help it; he’s so cute

I’ve got some presents for Santa
and he’s got a big one for me
While outside it snows
I take off all my clothes
and wait for Santa
I take off all my clothes
I’m waiting for Santa
underneath my tree

Merry Christmas to all

and to all a goodnight!
