OK, I gotta give credit to an old friend Jeff Boxschmidt who sang it at an annual Xmas recording party hosted by the long time Sound Engineer for the Gourds a guy named Jim Archuleta, also known as Rche. He used to have these parties at his house with all of his buddies and us and we would just have a big party and he’d make beans and or chili or something like that. We’d spend all night drinking partying and recording Christmas songs. As I remember, there are some real gems on some of those CDs, which I have somewhere. I need to find them. Or, Rche if you are reading this, maybe you have them on a SoundCloud or something somewhere where we can hear them. Particularly I remember one song being genius that Claude Bernard the accordion player for the Gourds seemed to do off the cuff, just made it up. Anyway, I digress. Here is my version of Xmas on the Isthmus done in my studio I’m guessing 2021 maybe. For a live stream maybe it was, the Christmas rib fry? Of which I don’t think I’m gonna be able to pull that off this year. I wanted to, but maybe I’ll do a best of Christmas ribfry. I could probably edit something together for that and throw a couple of new things in there. Anyway, I’m gonna be sharing Christmas songs here in this Substack world up until Christmas. They’ll be other things but mostly this time of year is for recollecting reminiscing and getting good and buzzed.
