christmas in EAST nashville - over the river and through the hood






christmas is upon our little home on the ghetto side of the tracks in east nashville.

despite my desire to support the environmental cause in buying a farmed christmas tree, it was out of our budget this year. our "tree" is not artificial either. it is, in fact, the ultimate in hobo christmas trees!

sabrina got us this little gem by cutting off two large branches of a couple of pine trees near where she works and we tied them together with twine and to my microphone stand to hold them up. nothing like doing things on the cheap.

please note that the red skirt around the bucket, in which the branches are held, is the cursed red flag we stole from the sacred taoist mountain in china. and we have a star atop the tree - and what bigger star could you ask for than john wayne!

yep, it is christmas in our shanty town.

merry christmas to all and to all, chug-a-lug.
