A Christmas Gift from Everett True – pt 1

Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

I love Christmas songs. I love football songs, too.

Not unreservedly of course. That would be crazy talk. And I’m not quite ready to indulge in that yet. But I love the idea of imposin gartificial rules upon song-writing, and seeing how people react to them. Not least because most folk writing songs don’t have a fucking clue what to do when faced with the possibility of everything. So musicians need parameters like the rest of us. Whatever. Here’s the first part of my Christmas Gift to you. A mix tape.
