I have always wondered why there was a lyric in the Christmas song "It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" that mentioned "scary ghost stories."  I'll take us "backstage" to the story behind the lyrics in this Backstage Quickie.

The Backstage Quickie is a new format for for my shows that are under 10 minutes, I hope to have a bunch of Quickies in this next year!

There is a difference between Tribute Bands and Cover Bands.  It doesn't position one as better than the other, but does define the nature of the band's material and in some instances the experience of the musicians.  I talk about our upcoming Saureel Summer Nights line up and some other fun things like historic hotels and ghosts!
