    Everything is political nowadays. One of my favorite groups is the 2nd South Carolina String Band. When people criticize my choice I just point out that Sergeant Richard Kirkland was the Angel of Marye's Heights who brought water to the Union wounded at Fredericksburg was a member of the 2nd South Carolina and the whole regiment helped him by forming a human change to fill canteens and pass them forward.

    Santa Baby is kind of nice, and fun to play with its flatted blue notes. It was a hit for Eartha Kitt way back when, 1953? It is one of the band's Xmas holiday parade tunes, so I've played it a hundred ti9mes and am not tired o0f it yet.

    I will agree to the "personal taste" but when someone elses "taste" is blaringt at me and I am forced to listen to it, it becomes not. Especially now that the wokies, not to be confused with Wookies, have banned religious songs, and have new butchered versions of the old songs. I always return "Happy Holidays" with "Merry Christmas".

    Also "Thank you for your service" has become VERY trite, to me. It gets returned as "Don't thank me; remember those that didn't return, and vote for those that will honor them". Always takes the other person back, some will re-thank me, others, just mumble away. Sorry, didn't mean to intrude on Jesus' time.

    You can't beat Christmas Carols with full orchestra and choir.
    Christmas Songs I can do without.

    Doctor was explaining to my wife about a bone density drug she was asking about. The doctor explained it as the line from the song "Hotel California", "you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave", meaning that once you start taking it you cannot discontinue it's usage. He put her on something else.

    There was a movie, I don't remember the name; The Young Lions maybe, but they portrayed the execution of Eddie Slovak, while the music played Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".

    REALLY, REALLY BAD TASTE. And ever since, I can't stand that song.
