Santa Clause is in a rears with me. If you see him, tell him to give me a call :-)

That cat always finds away to visit and delivers toys to everybody except me.

Yeah, tell Sannie (if you see him)...

tell em, that his account is going to collections... Yeah, tell em that.

Robert, I have been getting the socks and underwear that you requested for the last 20 years. I will be happy to forward them on to you.

Could you please send me the stuff I have been asking for? Obviously our wires were crossed.

Thanks,

Harold

An SF-2 is super high on my list, but so am I because I know Santa doesn't have the benjamin's for that.

Socks and Underwear is the greatest! I grew up the youngest of 4 boys and always had socks that were thread bare and never stayed pulled up and underwear with worn elastic and a dingy look to them . . . :-|
I think that is the reason I appreciate them so much these days, a good sock (ie: Thorlo)and a double seamed pair of flannel boxers is a thing of beauty to me.

AMEM TO LONG-JOHNS!

As a kid I never could understand the value of Long-john pajamas with those hard flexible built-in soft slippers for the feet, along with the full body zipper.

As a kid, I hated them, but today, I wish they made something like them for adults. I remember as a kid, I would imagine myself as astronaut or a deep sea scuba diver just to fool myself to like them.

Today with these cold nights, I would love to have something of an outfit like the one I had as a child.

Man, I can see me now... with my Alembic strapped on, and a nice warm cup, I would be in heaven.

By orders of my wife, my children would probably take pictures of me and show it around. I'll still be warmer than them... bring on the cameras...:-)

"Sannie claus - if you can get me some long-johns; I'll call off the hounds, and I'll call it an even trade."

Dear santa, I'd like the albums I don't have in Rickie Lee Jones' back catalogue. Should only be three or four so easy enough to transport. ;-)

Thanks Dave and Wolf.

I've got to say this last year has really changed my perspective on things, as I would have said an 8-string Series II last year, but "things" just don't seem so important now. At least she's been home now for a few months, and slowly getting better, but we've still got a long road.

Terry, I am sorry to know this brother.

Man, it feels like I lost my mother Today, and she past away on a November day in 2004 (before the Thanksgiving Holiday).

May GOD Bless you Terry, for I know it hard without your Dad, and it's even harder during the Holidays.

The winter solstice. A time of rebirth and renewal. A time of remembrance, and a time of hope. A time to rest from and reflect on the year just past and years gone by, and a time to prepare for the coming spring, a new dawn, a new awakening. An amazing and poignant time of the year for the effects that it elicits within us all.

It will change you forever. In a way, you should let it -- as a form of honor. Let them be real enough to you that their passing affects you forever.

I'm at a very fortunate point in my life, and I only want a few things and need little.

BUT . . . if I was just gonna get like a six year old and ask Santa . . . an M-series film Leica, with the motor winder, and four or five lenses.

Not sure what I'll see under the tree but he/"She" (I have an awesome wife) parked a new Jeep Wrangler in the driveway for me.

We did get some today in Dallas, I've lived here 47 years and it's only the second time I can recall a "semi"-white Christmas.

Series 5 string cocobolo with LED, Stacked treble/bass potentiometers for each pickup, double cutaway for superduper ease and no obstruction what-so-ever of playing in the upper registers. A Classico Double bass, and 2 Bag End 1x18"...Oh yeah and another Short Scale Distillate with Piccolo tuning. That ain't too much for Santa to put under the tree! (Hee!-Hee!)

Robert, nice Muscian! May I ask where Santa found this one? I too, hope to get one some day. I do have a close cousin though, an '84 MC888 Muscian "Bean Bass" that I really like.

Happy Holidays, enjoy!
