I knew Santa was a bluesman!  And did the Grinch's dog defect to the North Pole?  Craig, put the antlers back on that old pup.

So good to hear your fantastic stylings.  That phrasing would definitely be on my wish list to Mr. Kringle.

And was Been a While a call and Response to my In a While?

Love ya, Brother.

Sounds great as always! Been missing your great videos. How have you been?

@wobbly_bob, I had to give this noodling more attention.  You have the blues power that evades my grasp.  And, as Burl Ives advised Mr Rabbit,, "Every Little Soul Must Shine, Shine," I am so drawn to the light of your phrasing and the soul in your sound. 

Man, this plate o' chow mein gets cooking at 1:30 and Daddy keeps the dish on simmer!
