If you think I look like a sleazebag, it"s because I pulled the "Pervy Santa" card this past Christmas, 2019. Sometimes we need a bawdy yuletide carol to raise an eyebrow and make us chuckle. There's no need to cover your children's ears...just don't tell them what the surprize candy cane ending is all about. It was born in the late 80's on a cold, drunken, divorced, batchelor kind of night when innuendos and ridiculous lyrics entered into my song world. Look forward to hearing it again near the end of the year on our up and coming Smokeywine Christmas album. (Smokeywine.com)
Each year we pick a dinner photo theme and this time Lea made a fake beard and we all posed with hats and silly faces. Who knows what we'll think of next year. The missing link in this situation is Lea's brother, Craig Lybarger who wailed relentlessly on his harmonica in this sassy number. Lea tossed in some campy, old style harmonies to back up my gruff whisky-laden, lascivious vocal track. As usual, it was recorded at Twisted Gitar Music Studio with sound engineer Lea Sheldan at the helm. (leasheldan.com)

All kidding aside, Santa Claus Blues is a great little song to jam along to. Who doesn't need another standard 12 bar blues that lets you howl like a rabid dog in heat? And you can't get a better key than 'E' for any instrument to play along. This year, no matter what, we're gonna keep on keeping on to bring you our latest songs and news from our isolated little Pocomo. Thanks to my listeners in Brazil, Japan, Portugal, Belgium, Spain, Czech Republic, Chili, Mexico, Great Britain, Norway, Turkey France, Germany and New Zealand. I hope you all keep safe in these dangerous times and spread love and laughter around as you support organic homegrown artists and local artists. Remember to be good cause Santa Claus can tell...
