HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENT

posted by James Reel

No blog posts in about two weeks ... sorry for that. It's been busy around here, getting a big batch of new releases cataloged before generating the January schedules, and putting together several special programs for Christmas Day in addition to the usual Arizona Friends of Chamber Music concerts each week. Whew! You can find a rundown of all our KUAT-FM holiday programming here.

In lieu of posting something original right now--I'm still trying to fix some database management issues that cropped up when I cranked out the January schedule, and investigating why the computer wants to play Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony every eight days--here's a repost of something from a few years ago, a coyote Christmas carol I wrote to be sung to the tune of "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen":

God bless you, hairy cattlemen,

And hirsute shepherds, too.

More meager would our mealtime be

Without the likes of you,

Who've introduced into our realm

That tempting baa and moo.

Oh, thank goodness for human fools who keep

Cattle and sheep.

All we ask is:

Please don't shoot us from your Jeep.
