Default Christmas Show

Myself and another musician are working on a Christmas show at an old country type feed store bar. We are going to stagger in as two hobos as there are rr tracks across the road from the bar. We will be telling made up stories of hobos and doing music with it . Such songs as The Old Corner Bar , A Hobos life
Fairytale Of NY Christmas Must Be Tonight and of course the Rudolph and Frostie stuff. This will only be a 90 minute shoe . Not to bore the people . Do y’all think it would work? ….shorten or lengthen ?

Get over to YouTube and bone up on your Utah Phillips repertoire. He carried the hobo torch for years — songs and stories.

To me just my opinion. Around here all the singer songwriters when they do a show do the same music . I can’t tell you how many times I have heard Margaritaville , Brown Eye Girl , Eagles Cody Jinks . ..But they don’t entertain people they just strum their guitars and sing . Besides I am not the young cowboy who seems to be who all the clubs want . I will become an entertainer.
