Getting That Jingle Bells Feeling

We're socked in with weather today. Rain with just a teasing chance of snow. Such weather gets me thinking about Christmas songs. And so here is my list of the 5 greatest Christmas songs that I can think of without helps.

• Brenda Lee - Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
  John Prine - I Saw Mama Kissing Santa Claus
  Dean Martin - Let It Snow
  Roger Miller - Old Toy Trains
  John Denver - (Please Daddy) Don't Get Drunk This Christmas

While prowling around the internets for Christmas songs I found a cool little widget for the web page...the Christmas Song of the Day Gadget. Think I'll embed it onto my iGoogle page, but couldn't figure out how to embed it here.

OK, enough blogging, I'm off to down some toddies with Denver's daddy.

Time For The Christmas Songs

Teisco Del Rey Guitar Memories

When I first picked up the electric guitar I had a Kent Strat knock-off. Bought it at Sears on a Saturday morning and by that night had joined the Rock and Roll Revolution.

Kent was a cheap POS axe made by Teisco, the major Japanese maker of guitars in the sixties. Teisco Del Rey guitars were for the most part rip-offs of better known American Fenders and Gibsons, but for us kids with little money they were the ticket to the big time.

Just cleaned up an old Teisco logo and loaded it up to a Cafepress store. I think it makes for a pretty cool Teisco Del Rey t-shirt.

6x10 Concession Trailer Video

Here's a great 6 foot by 10 foot concession trailer for sale. According to information posted along with the video it would be a great concession trailer for a mobile catering food business, and it does look to have all the necessary equipment.  It's amazing how versatile a 6x10 unit can be.

Aztec Calendar 2012 Prophecy

So my son asked me what I know about the Aztec calendar 2012 prophecies and end of the world scenerios.  I felt it was my fatherly duty to explain that there wasn't any Aztec calendar 2012 prophecies and that most Aztecs I knew were of the belief that the most likely end of the world scenerio would be that some Spaniard would screw everyone over sometime in the 1520s.

This didn't sit well with the boy who proceeded to explain that there was an entire Hollywood blockbuster of a movie on the subject and that John Cusack  had some sort of divine knowledge on the subject and I should get with the program.

Oh that, said I. That's not any kind of Aztec calendar 2012 prophecies, that's  all about the Mayan calendar 2012 prophecies. Mayans, not Aztecs.

And yes, that's all true.
