Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | This was the first rehearsal of the Santa gig at Boettcher Concert Hall. I was testing out the coat to deal with the fat suit underneath and the sleeves. The beard and wig were added the next day at the final rehearsal. The guitar is a custom Hamer Monoco III with Jason Lollar pups and full abalone purfling. I ran a wireless to a Keeley Blues Driver then into the house PA.

Santa Clause is coming to town
(C)He knows where you’ve been (G)sleeping
(C)And he knows who it’s been (G)with
(C)You really don’t want to(G) piss him (E7)off
He’s a(A) nasty son of a(D) bitch
(G)Get your wallet out,
(C)Pay all the bribes
(G)Grease a few palms,
(D)Go to church a few times
(C)Santa Clause is (D)coming to (G)town
(Blistering lead break)

So tonight’s the big night,
the sleigh’s flying high
Like a Seven Fourty Seven,
Up in the sky
Santa Clause is coming to town |

Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | Great pics Brad...I like your festive guitar strap.
The Hammer looks great, just what you'd expect Ole Santa to be playin'....a red guitar!
Btw - You need to get to the gym....looks like you've put on quite a few pounds since I last saw you! :eek: ;)
(thanks for the song Beal) |
