Damper

Encore! The Heebee-jeebees relate with blues and scat to the day after man stuck up the chimney with those “Boxing Day Blues.” Does that mean kidnapping?!

I don’t enjoy posting songs that i can’t credit, but this antique tale of Santa setting the house and himself on fire with an electric train set as sang by an adorable tike sells itself. Pete the Elf shared this number, i’ll refer to as “Flew Right Up the Chimbley.” Thanks, Pete. Now, who is this?

“There’s Someone in the Chimney” is more Plank Road Publishing from the prodigious Terese Jennings. This is elementary school assembly stuff, with a nice slice of humor (Land shark!).
