I like this version by Dave Edmunds. Kind of falls apart at the end, but that's because it was for a New Year Eve's celebration which has no relevance now.

What could be better than a Dave Edmunds performance? A Dave Edmunds performance with an appearance by Larry Bud Melman at the end. ;D

In all honesty, I'm not even sure if there is anything better than this. It's probably my favorite performance of a Christmas song. You would think that there would be more stuff like this out there. But in my opinion, there isn't all that much.
Here is another good one.

And for reasons unknown, Daniel Radcliffe of Potter fame decided to re-do this song, using an approach which follows Lehrer did. But it has a nice modern bounce, plus a chorus!!

I heard this at the chiropractor's office today and had to look it up. He told me I needed a vacation, by the way. This is Lisa Layne on vocals. What a voice she has.

I'm not a country music listener and hadn't heard of her, but I listened to that and thought "her voice DRIPS country music." Even though it isn't a country song or done country style, that inflection rings out in every word.
So I looked her up, and sho'nuff, country music from her early years.
Good day, eh.

Yes, that's true. I felt the same way. I looked her up yesterday, though. She is from Texas. She was better known there and in New Orleans where she moved to for a while. I think later she moved to Nashville. Someone wrote on one of the comments beneath one of her songs that he was in New Orleans once at an open mic night. She came up and asked to sing that song. The guy asked her what key and she said the key of the record. He asked if she was sure because that was a rather high key. She said I'm the one who sang it for Vince. Of course it came out just right. At some point, Lisa Layne was involved in doing Patsy Cline songs, but I don't know the details of that at all and haven't heard any of those songs she did.

Love the Bob & Doug clip. Hadn't heard it in a few years, and it's pure hoser.
Beauty!
I didn't know whether to post this here or in the Gibson bass section. But Rick Danko is already well represented there. Plus, it's almost Christmas.

Both passed away earlier this year, a week apart.

Very sad about Leon Redbone. The press release when he retired several years ago said he had been having health problems that kept him from continuing, and it turns out that he died from dementia at age 69, which probably means that he had been suffering from it for years.

It certainly looks that way. I'm sure the singer in red was not happy about it, either.
I saw a feature on some nature channel only recently where it was stated that it is the African animal responsible for the most human casualties - feline predators, elephants, crocodiles and poisonous snakes don't come near (maybe the mosquito does - size isn't everything!). Maybe the young lass should reconsider her gift wish?

The lady in red would be welcome to any Christmas event. But no thanks to a hippopotamus. That's true that they seem to be way more dangerous than a lot of people realize.

its because the sound of a boat motor is surprisingly similar to the rumble sound that in heat males make as a challenge. so the bulls attack motor boats thinking they are rivals

Thankfully, I've only been on boats on the Mississippi and Tennessee rivers--with an occasional lake here and there.
