A Blue Christmas

Well, we are heading into the final stretch till the big day. Are you ready? Have you got everything done on your list yet? I have a few things left to do til I fly south. Not everyone one is done yet, but it is just a matter of going out to get it. There was a major storm that hit the East Coast, so in your honor, I present to you Albert Collins doing "Snowed In." I just thought I would share my favorite harmonica player Little Walter doing the song, "Key to the Highway." I have played the harmonica for over 30 years. I think I am pretty good, but not this good. To Bring it back to the holidays, we have Elvis Presley doing "Blue Christmas" from his 1968 comeback concert. The last is a great version of the classic song "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" by Bruce Springsteen from 1978.
