....So how come The GD 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 Jerry/Bobby like Xmas??? Wouldn't you have
like
to have
heard The GD cover such great Xmas Tunes like:

Little St. Nick
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
I Saw Mommy Blowing Santa Claus
A Christmas Waltz
Rockin' Around The Xmas Tree
Go Tell It On A Mountain (Just Imagine a Jerry solo with this song)!
I Saw Three Ships
An Old Xmas Card (Gentleman Jim Reeves version)
Christmas in Killarney
Jingle Bell Rock
The 12 Daze Of Xmas
Away In A Manger
Jolly Stoned Old St. Nicholas
Have Yourself A Drunken Little Xmas (Judy Garland version)
We Three Kings (Tried to Smoke A Rubber Cigar)
Good King Wensaslaus

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

He hasn't been Jewish in years. I think he's Hindi this year and scheduled
to be a Sikh next year.
