Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Here is some old school Christmas Soul music.
Enjoy...
Enjoy...
Write just one good Christmas song, have the right artist record it who will sell, and you’ll make enough money to live well. Get it in a movie or TV show in syndication and you get good residuals year after year.
The great thing about Christmas songs is that they sell every year. The gift that keeps on giving.
How much are musicians making from our favourite Christmas songs?
Love the horns. "Lookeh heah!"
A tad tenuous maybe?.........
Tenuous....lovely word....satisfying.....like phlegm......
I like tenuous.
Sounds very woody.
I like woody words.
All the naughty words sound woody.
I hate tinny words.

Thanks. I tried it again. The BB code looked odd.

I thought so too. Turns out that Three Aces and A Joker was headed by a drummer, Harold Schneider, a guy in the 2705th Airmunition Wing and some locals in Salt Lake City, Utah. Six hundred records were pressed in November of 1960. They only ever did this song and Booze Party.

Aircraft storage and disposition is a high calling, grateful for the skill set Wirt Corrie brings to the table.

That's painful.
There's SumGai who is part of our conference calls who took all his diction lessons from William Shatner. All the randomly emphasized words, the pauses when there is no comma, &c &c. I actually tune out completely when he speaks. Like take off the headset tune out. When we're on videoconference I just flip off my camera (goes without saying SumGai likely tunes me out too.)
.... SumGai is famous in collector's circles. See a [bass] at the shop, come back the next day with cash in hand and hear SumGai came in yesterday and bought it. SumGai is everywhere.
Speaking of hearing, back when we all so thrilled with electric iceboxes, indoor plumbing, and even motor coaches, my maternal grandmother and her best friend were a fixture on Christmas Eve. Both as hard-of-hearing as fenceposts, so it's not difficult to imagine the tenor of the table conversation.
As time advanced Christmas Eve dinner for us became a simple oyster chowder. I'd sort-of-planned on salt cod for Christmas Eve dinner but it sold out. I could get some today at the fish monger (probably) but didn't seem that important. Parties have become smaller and smaller. My own plans take me to a pub I enjoy. I still like to get dressed up on Christmas Eve <shrug>
