Location: Spain | Thanks a lot guys! It's a popular Christmas song, in the UK at least, not sure if it's big in the U.S? It's by The Pogues and the original video has Matt Dillon playing a cop. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Very nice. I hadn't heard it either. I was just thinking during my commute that I'd like a compilation of some of the less traditional rock Christmas songs. Need to get out the OFC Christmas CD. |

Location: SE Michigan | Great Job Craig! This song is growing on me, it definitely has a UK-vibe. Here is another version I ran into a few months back that's pretty good:

I think you have inspired me to learn the song. Merry Christmas!

Location: Boise, Idaho | One of my favorites is Cliff's rendition of Old City Bar that was on the OFC Christmas CD. Anyone know how to post it? I checked his website and he didn't have it posted on there. He didn't have anything very current. Hope everything is alright with his bah humbug. |

Location: Central Massachusetts | My favorite Christmas track from the Member's Night Out Holiday CD... I tried to find a link as I knew it had been posted in the past. Looks like it got ning'd. But in search of it, I came across this incredibly appropriate quote from Jonmark Stone, "On a day where news events revolve around mans inhumanity, this is more than wonderful."

Location: Upper Left USA | To answer the question - yes!
As a Christian musician I get to play Christmas songs all year long but during this holiday season I get to play Worship music cleverly disguised as Christmas Carols... Kind of wrong but you know...
It's all about intent around here. Rock on! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Thanks for getting me going. I usually start thinking about learning some Christmas songs about Christmas Eve, the same time I start my Christmas shopping. This year I stopped by the local record store and bought some Christmas CDs, since I'm tired of my wife's, and am working on Old City Bar. I found a passable tab, but I've got to listen to the song a bunch more to make some corrections from the tab. |

This one is right from the Savatage (pre-cursor to TSO) site.

Location: Boise, Idaho | I've heard a bunch of different fingerpicking patterns by TSO in YouTube videos and the albums. It looks like a pretty standard walkdown from a C. Played it all weekend. I'll put a bunch of the tabs together and make one that sounds right. |
