A classic. My sweetheart preforms one Xmas song with her string band, this is it. It sweetly captures the dysfunctional family gatherings we remember so well.
REK tells a good story, doesn’t he? My favorite bit in that tune is:
Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can’t remember how I’m kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motor home in
They blew our Christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited out on our front lawn
He threw the breaker and the lights came on
And we sang “Silent Night, oh Silent Night”
We did one black-ice Christmas in a motor home in Coahoma, Texas. So we can relate.

That’s a hoot!
Merry Christmas!
Back at you, Libby. Robert Earl Keen is a keeper. His “The Road Goes On Forever” is another classic bit of storytelling.
Video is a perfect accompaniment to that song.
Also highly recommend “Mariano” and “Armadillo Jackal”
Hah. Thanks for the recommendations. They’re good’uns, a’ight. I remember armadillos from my misspent youth on Randolph AFB outside San Antone.
