CHRISTMAS, DONUTS and THE GIFT OF MUSIC

This Saturday, Gregg Turner and his usual gang of weirdos -- including me -- will be playing one of our fun-filled music spectaculars at Santa Fe's number one secret music venue, Whoo's Donuts.

Turner, a founding member of The Angry Samoans will be backed up by his band of lovelies, singer Kristina Pardue and bassist Sarah Meadows.

I'm one of the "special guests," so I'll be doing a couple of the songs that made us all fall in love.
And rumor has it that the one and only Joe West is threatening to show up.

The show starts at 11:30 am Saturday, Dec. 23 at Whoo's, 851 Cerrillos Road. Come on down have some coffee and a fresh-baked pastry and let us entertain you.

Kristina, Sarah and Turner.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Some Sad Old Country Christmas Songs

If you're looking for Christmas cheer ... don't come here.

Deep in heart I do believe that 99-percent of Christmas music sucks the warts. For the most part I agree with these guys.

But there is a major exception. I'm a sucker for a sad country Christmas song.

In my Terrell's Tune-up column last week, I mentioned a song by George Jones (included on Rhino Records' Bummed Out Christmas compilation. It's one of the best country Christmas weepers. Check it out below.



You know it's going to be sad one when Kitty Wells sings "Holidays are lonely days for me ..." at the very beginning of  "Christmas Ain't Christmas Anymore."



This is just one beautiful song by Buck Owens. Hell, I'd even listen to this in July.



Loretta Lynn tugs at your holiday heartstrings with "Christmas Without Daddy."



But the most over-the-top maudlin Christmas tune in the history of country music has to be "Billy's Christmas Wish." This is the saddest Red Sovine song since the Phantom 309 ran over Teddy Bear.

WACKY WEDNESDAY: Have yourself a wacky little Christmas ...

Last Friday in my Terrell's Tune-Up column, I reviewed several wacky (and/or tacky) Christmas albums.

In that spirit, here are some random wacky Christmas songs. Some are tacky too.

Lat's start with the meeting of  two super-groups of the '60s Canned Heat and The Chipmunks



This giant chicken could give the children nightmares



When I was growing up in Oklahoma City in the 1960s, my favorite radio station, WKY, used to play this Little Cindy smash. ... All the damned time every December!



Enjoy some Pantera Christmas lights ...



But nothing says "Merry Christmas" quite like a disturbing Captain Beefheart cover



As The Red Baron told Snoopy,  "Merry Christmas, mein friend!"

It's the Big Enchilada's December Episode!

Call me Scrooge. Call me Grinch. Call me Ishmael. But once again I just couldn't bring myself to produce another damned Christmas show. Sometime in the past couple of holiday seasons, I just burned out on Christmas songs. So, just like last year, once again I'm giving you an hour of crazed rock 'n' roll -- with just a sprinkling of songs from the season. (And if you really need some Christmas music right now, you can find all my Christmas specials HERE)
