I'm even known to throw in standards like Bing doing "White Christmas". Spingsteen gets hit twice with "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and "Merry Christmas Baby". HOWEVER, my husband does not share my taste in music. Examples of songs he likes are: Christmas in Prison ~ John Prine & Merry Christmas From the Family ~ Robert Earl Keen. Vaughn Monroe - Let It Snow makes it because it's in "Die Hard", my husband's favorite "Christmas" movie. Ideas of anything that sounds like Prine or Keen for the holidays or a holiday song that is featured in a movie with Bruce Willis and lots of bullets??? ~ Carol ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 04 Dec 2013 12:24:14 -0500 From: "Michael and Linda Marmer" Subject: Re: [RS] Mining for disaster songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xawag_PYNGE Another Schooner Fare song about Molasses as this is a cover as the late Tom Rowe from the group, his son, is in the middle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Molasses_Disaster The basis of the song.

Mark of 22 Minutes does a great Neil Young. Being silly, I hope someone laughed.
