Been meaning to ask this, since you mentioned Amherst. Do you have a Western Mass connection? Did I hallucinate that you did a gig in Turners Falls in like 2011?
Once upon a time we might hear readings from Dylan Thomas’s “A Child’s Christmas in Wales.” This is a perfect update. We endure and embrace both the rotten and the sweet ‘because it’s Christmas.’
Actually wonderful. Just as Christmas songs finally cease, I’ll have “Piano Man” in my head all day. Billy Joel slays Tin Drummer Boy. Confesses immediately.
I was obsessed with Billy Joel ('s music) for years and never once liked that song.
This essay makes me laugh so hard! Please repost this every Christmas!
haha

I have no real connection to Western Mass and I don't remember if I did a gig in Turners Falls in 2011, but otherwise, yes, you are spot on!
😂
Now it is stuck in my ear too. Thanks a lot, Michael. Grrrr
“Amherst sucks at football.” is perfectly placed. No notes.
I will not stand for the disrespect of a Lord Jeffs Quarterback
This piece was my gateway to your comedy back in the day! Great work 😂
Diabolical thinking!!!

A new Christmas tradition for me, sir!

he used to be in the navy...
I'm just saying...lots of songwriters modify their lyrics as decades pass...
I’ll simply say, “some other time.” 🫡
