Roll On: Cheryl

From the French for dear, CHERYL arrives in many forms.

John T. Wurzer is miserable without you as the holidays approach. Apart from some company, including Sherry who passes our drinks, “Rut Night Before Christmas” signals tears. Indie with a hint of country.

Merry Christmas Sherry Baby” by David Houston is a rollicking tribute to the memory of the one that got away. Awww.

Grandma Sherry Christmas” is more AI pop from G-Funk (feat. Kaitlyn Moore) masquerading as heartfelt family hearths. (Ignore the Parental Advisory on this one.)

Ruth Baker tweaks the freq to get an unintelligible rap a la “Cheryl The Mince Pie“. What?

Bad Sharon” from the office might perk up the holiday office party, according to Robbie Williams’s pop smasher. I believe him.

Dan Bryk’s “Great Adventure” is exactly that. A mature couple from Canada impulsively head into the US for a real holiday revel. Apart from a waitress named Cheryl in the Cracker Barrel it’s a terrible mess. Rocking folk. Wow.

Roll On: Bucky

I’m of two minds about including nicknames in our roistering roster, but BUCK is another Scottish name. It means deer. Hmmm.

I’ve already celebrated the tear jerkin’ tale of cowboy Jack and his doggy Buck from Mary Kaye’s “Goin’ Home for Christmas“. Give it another hanky twist. Gentle, unplugged country.

Sorry About Everything has a jolly pop rock number about “Bucky The Christmas Goat“. It may not be a goat from the creche, but it delivers royalty checks for this guy’s Christmas song. So there’s that. And he’s NOT a deer.
