Jingle Bells

This Xmas season I have made a concerted effort to listen to commercial radio and I attempt to sing along to or mime the lyrics of the yuletide classic songs. The utter failure of a guest I listened to on a quiz show to complete the second line of some very well known songs, challenged me to do better, with little success. So now I am cementing in my memory at least the opening couple of stanzas of the best known crooner hits. But as the promo on one station put it, “on the 26th we will get back to the music you love,” which by implication means they will continue to force feed the music we don’t until then.
