Playlist For Sunday, Dec. 17, 2017: Riding the (no)(don't)(not yet) Christmas Express!

This is difficult. Every neuron in my brain is firing: Christmas. Now. Do it. Resistance is...

Well, FEUDAL in this instance. Renaissance-ian, even closer to the mark! While we maintain our "Brakes On Xmas" stance, we release them to speed blithely down Broadway boulevards, shuffling off to Buffalo, riding the Choo-Choo express to Vegas/Hawaii/insert honeymoon spot of choice here, lingering momentarily to instagram a Swamp or two, over the Bridges (of Madison County? So soon? We just had cheese!), thru the land of Al Menken's Disney, Carol Burnett's Tarzan, and Tom (cleared of all assault charges) Wopat 's Hazzards. Oh, and something ROTTEN at the end!

So you see, there is STILL plenty of Broadway living on the periphery of Christmas to enjoy. We WILL do Christmas Broadway, I promise, in just a week...December 24th, Christmas Eve-Afternoon! Be there for cookies and nog. But meanwhile, I'm still saving you a seat. :)
