Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Here's this year's version of my Acoustic Thrash Christmas Medley, as is. Got a little, uh, creative in the middle, but I pulled it out of the fire. Thanks to some unexpected impromptu audience reaction, I decided to keep this take, imperfect as it is. Hope you enjoy it!

OK, Happy St. Stephen's Day. Here's this year's version of my Christmas Medley, Acoustic Thrash style. With a little help from some little reindeer - OK, key deer - who seemed fascinated, until they realized there wasn't going to be any food. Also some participation by Oscar the Octopus Ornament, who ended up stage diving into the mosh pit. Things went a little haywire in the middle - I mean, I got a little creative. Kind of had to, to pull it out. Very ... interesting. But the videography and cervine improvisation overrode my misgivings. Enjoy!

That deer clearly needs to spend more time enjoying the mandolin.

These deer seem to be interested in people only to the extent that they have food for them. They come up to the vehicle upon return from a food run, thinking there's something for them. And they're not shy about it. As far as any other interaction is concerned, they're inscrutable. They don't seem interested in any kind of affectionate behavior, on either side. And music seems to be a signal that there is a human nearby, who may have food. When nothing is forthcoming, they go on their way. They're pretty tame, but still wild. And they're deer, not dear.
