BLUES N'AT

    Ho, ho, ho! Christmas is just around the corner. And with Christmas comes Christmas music. Some radio stations have been ramming it down out throats since Halloween. Others give us just a smattering here and there between our favorite songs. Mrs. Black-N-Gold will look at some tunes that are essential for her to get into the holiday spirit. Some are bluesy, some are not but they're all classics.

     Today we look at some blues Yule, "Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin'" by Albert King. King's smooth guitar playing helps Santa with his rap. See, it's a long cold winter and even Santa needs some lovin' to keep him nice and warm. Don't worry about the turkey or cake. Santa just wants a pretty little woman underneath his Christmas tree, for goodness sake. You can leave Santa cookies and milk, if you like. But if you hear some noise coming from downstairs on Christmas Eve, Santa may be helping himself to a different kind of treat.

      Until next time, boys and girls. Keep It Bluesy!
