Bad Santa Blues (The Cheese Grater)

[JMFingerstyle]

When I was a youngster, my parents came up with a novel way to keep the children in bed while they wrapped presents, assembled bicycles, and drank eggnog on Christmas Eve, by adding a bit to the mythology of Santa Claus.

According them, in addition to the usual red suit and black boots, Santa also carried a large cheese grater.

Yes. A cheese grater.

If he peeked into your bedroom and found you awake on Christmas Eve, not only would he refuse to leave toys, he would also GRATE YOUR FEET!!!!

Needless to say, we kept our toes safely tucked under the covers until daylight on Christmas morning. Thus was born..."Bad Santa Blues".

Thanks, Reeve! I could only find three royalty-free clips of that Santa, so I had to get creative!

Thank you, Bill! He even makes that upside-down Telecaster sound like a Taylor 322ce acoustic!
