It's the time of year where Christmas music gets you in the spirit, as opposed to by the time Christmas finally rolls around and you can't stand it anymore. I'm just curious, what's your favorite Christmas music?
Here are my picks...
Album - definitely Vince Guaraldi's "A Charlie Brown Christmas"
Song - David Bowie and Bing Crosby's "Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth"

BTW, the sh*t hit the fan at the gig saturday night. I told Dale that I was done rehearsing anything until he and Kevin got their meter problems fixed. I told them both to spend 2 weeks practicing with a metronome and we'll come back and try it again. We sounded like a** saturday night because neither one of them can keep steady time. I'm tired of reigning them in on every friggin' song. It's just not fun to have to work that hard to keep a groove steady on a goddamn 3 chord song.
Sorry for the thread jack everyone, back to the topic at hand.
