....So how come frank & the Mothers never recorded a Christmas album
like so many
other GREAT Rock 'n' Roll artists....say....like the Beach Boys!!!

Why, even the *Sainted* Bob Dylan has released a much acclaimed Xmas
cd this year!!! And he's Jewish!

What's the matter? Didn't Frank like Xmas??? Wouldn't you have like
to have
heard Frank cover such great Xmas Tunes like:

Little St. Nick
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
A Christmas Waltz
Rockin' Around The Xmas Tree
Go Tell IT On A Mountain
I Saw Three Ships
An Old Xmas Card (Gentleman Jim Reeves version)
Christmas in Killarney
Jingle Bell Rock
I Saw Mommy Screwing Santa Claus
The 12 Daze Of Xmas
Away In A Manger
Jolly Old St. Nicholas
Have Yourself A Drunken Little Xmas (Judy Garland version)
We Three Kings
Good King Wensaslaus

You get the picture......dig it?

Are you starting this a little too early this year? Why, the turkey
ain't cooked yet and there's still no frost on the pumpkins. Wait
until next week and then repost this.
Thanks,

We're Only In It for the Money has a Christmas tree right behind Gail
and Jimi Hendrix.

That, by definition, makes it a Christmas album.
