FIVE MORE DAYS until we kick off the Surfjam Estabanopolis Christmas Spectacular Seasonal Affective Disorder Sing-a-long Sensation. IF YOU’RE ATTENDING THESE SHOWS, PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK: Learn all the songs on this “Wheel of Christmas” and come ready to sing w/ gusto, bravado, vibrato, bravura, brave heart, with drunken joyfulness and zealous ribaldry, i.e. as loud as possible, with CHRISTMAS CONFIDENCE. “Holly Jolly” might be less familiar. “We Need A Little Christmas” is slightly obscure. And “Sleigh Ride” is quick, so drink your Red Bull. We won’t be doing ANYTHING in 7/8 I promise. “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” will be in 3/4, as it is on the album. (If you can’t afford the album, all the songs are streaming on the interweb.com.org.edu.) We’ll be playing many other songs as well, and you are free to join us with a chorus, etc. WEAR A SANTA HAT IF YOU HAVE ONE. Wear PRADA. or Balenciaga. The band for this tour is: Rosie Thomas, Nedelle Torrisi, Casey Foubert, James McAlister, and Ben Lanz. And me. We have our work cut out for us. XXO, SS
Holy crap this is going to be insane. Be sure, also, to watch the 7 new videos he’s created for the launch of his new Christmas box set.
