12/24 - Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer: Yukon Cornelius is as famous for his lust for silver and gold as he is for his amazing moustache. Play something by someone who has / had fantastic facial hair.
He's perfect for today as well.

Day 24: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer: Yukon Cornelius
Crosby, Stills & Nash - Crosby, Stills & Nash
I just can’t picture Crosby without his ‘stache. I really like Nash’s goatee too.

The Beach Boys - The Beach Boys' Christmas Album
While they were still clean cut kids when they released their classic holiday album, The Brothers Wilson & Co. would eventually let their bushy freak flag fly.

Outstanding pick. I'm proud to call Lee a friend.
His day job really derailed his music about a year or so. He suffered a serious work injury that left him with a neck/nerve issue that forced him totally off the road as well as out of work.
If you'd like to support him directly, here's a link to his store.
I highly recommend the 'Done Playing Possum' shirt. Proud owner of two...

12/23 - Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer: Hermey the Elf feels like a misfit because he wants to be a dentist. Everyone started off with a job they didn’t like. Spin something by an artist who initially paid the bills with another job outside of music and let us know what that is.
The real deal right here...
Lil' Ed And The Blues Imperials played their first gig at a West Side club called Big Duke’s Blue Flame, splitting the $6 take four ways. Over the next few years, the group played every club in the neighborhood. Even so, they still needed day jobs to pay the bills. Ed worked ten hours a day as a buffer at the Red Carpet Car Wash. Pookie drove a school bus. Night after night they played their roaring brand of blues in tiny clubs, and eventually the word reached Alligator president Bruce Iglauer.
At the time, Iglauer was looking for local talent for The New Bluebloods, an anthology of some of Chicago’s younger blues musicians. “Ed and his band had a good reputation,” recalls Iglauer. “I had only seen them live once or twice. I knew Ed was a hot slide player, but I had no idea what he and the band were really capable of. I just knew that their music reminded me of Hound Dog Taylor and J.B. Hutto, two of my favorite musicians. It seemed like having a band this rough and ready would be a nice change of pace for the anthology, so I asked them to come down to the studio and cut a couple of songs. I never expected what happened.”
The band —never having been in a recording studio before— treated the studio like a club, playing live to Iglauer, the engineer, and all the people on the other side of the control room glass. After Ed recorded his two rehearsed songs quickly, there was still plenty of studio time left, so they just kept playing. After 10 songs were in the can, Iglauer offered the band a full album contract. The end result of the session was 30 songs cut in three hours with no overdubs and only one second take. Twelve of those songs became the band’s debut album, Roughousin', released in September of 1986.

12/21 - Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer: Sam the Snowman was famously voiced by Burl Ives, who was jailed in the early 1930’s for singing “Foggy Dew”, which the authorities considered “bawdy”. Play something bawdy in solidarity with Burl.
Not super-bawdy but it fits this morning's spin stack.
Merry Christmas!

Fleetwood Mac - The Dance
Everyone in the house was stunned when they realized I only got two records this year. Might be a sign that I’m gradually weaning myself off this addiction. Likely thanks to an intervention I had with myself while I was standing in line to buy new industrial strength shelves for my closet to accommodate the heavy stacks of records threatening to rip down the existing closet shelves.
I put this on my Amazon wish list knowing my mom would see it and immediately buy it for me. Despite having lived in Silver Spring, MD for several years, this is the first time I’ve owned my favorite FMac track, which was inspired by the name of the town.
Happy holidays, everyone!!

The 3rd and last record I received from this years Secret Santa that I haven't played yet. My wife and daughter just know not to buy me records, so the Secret Santa is pretty much the only time I get records as gifts.
