What a perfect revision of the old standby. Wonderful picture of the festive tree with the animals walking around. Enjoy the day before you saddle up for whatever is coming.

Okay, now we'll send the cheer to the stratosphere: Little Saint Nick, Beach Boys, 1965

Wishing you & yours all the very best Lucian.

I've truly enjoyed all your columns. As I've said, it's the one daily email I look most forward to and the ONLY one I've ever considered paying for.

When you wrote me back, and you actually personally answered (from what I recall, was a fairly cynical one of mine. Speculating my inquiry would be answered by a robot) it just knocked me out....

You'll recall it was a Bob Dylan related article of yours that 1st caught my attention. And this reprinted Slim Harpo story is now a close favorite. Too cool!!

Love all your work, truly enjoy reading your readers replies & am planning to renew my subscription here on the 26th.

Peace to all,

Corky in KC
