eSJayDee Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Kinda a dumb question, but is that Arlo Guthrie playing the accordian?
thebug Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Kinda a dumb question, but is that Arlo Guthrie playing the accordian? Yes....that's a dumb question.
The Poojer Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 it's some guy named Smokey according to the reader's comments section Kinda a dumb question, but is that Arlo Guthrie playing the accordian?
stevestojan Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Awesome thread. The wife and I heard this at a beach bar in SD last weekend. I said "this guy sounds just like Bob Dylan" But I figured no way is Dylan signing Christmas tunes.... LOVED it.

stevestojan Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Well, I was at Best Buy today, so... as a Bob Dylan fan I picked up his Christmas CD. It is the greatest Christmas CD of all time. <boring story> I was a huge Bob Dylan fan for my high school/early college years. Went to a show he had at Buff State (yes, Buff State, not UB) in '99. Got there 4 hours early thinking (incorrectly) that people would be there for much longer than that. Ended up getting front row. After the show, Bob reaches over and shakes my hand. In his hand was his pick. I of course still have that pick. </boring story> Bob Dylan is one of the most interesting people in entertainment ever. Read about him. He put out several albums that were purposely awful (and yet people bought them by the masses). This Christmas album is the first album in decades where he doesn't disguise his voice. I know many people think his voice is god awful. But for the last 5 albums, he had to "hide" the effect smoking 2 packs a day had on his voice. In other words, as bad as it was, his voice was actually much worse. This Christmas album is the first he just finally says "screw it" and sings in his own voice. Musically, its awful. Historically, its !@#$ing awesome. I'm sorry for swearing

Late 70s til mid 90s I thought his albums sucked. But wow the last several have been quite the comeback.
linksfiend Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Sounds mostly like a reinterpretation of the traditional German children's song Schnitzelbank - one of the funniest versions I seen is
