Joe Quincy confuses me with his hootenanny of a jingle “The Pirate Cowboy.” Amidst all the whooping and carrying on about his drinking, cursing, climbing papa, i hear ‘No, this is Santa Claus.’ Tie goes to the runner.
Not sure if the Carolinas were beleaguered by freebooters in days of yore, but Chuck Phillips soft rocks the country in “Christmas in Carolina.” Admiring the local traditions, he notes: The sailboats string lights from the main, Pirates Yo-Ho Merry Christmas. Where’d that come from–?
