Christmas cheer!

I received another Christmas card, this one from [livejournal.com profile] willow_m_w - I've put it under my tree to! Thanks so much Willow!!

And I just had to share this amazing (unusual??) version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town by a Bahamian Folk Guitarist named Joseph Spence. My husband and I found this on YouTube when we were searching for the chords for this song (hubby played it at his gig a week ago)
This guy is an amazing guitarist, even if his English is a little weird. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

The way that guy sings reminds me of this comedian, Vic Reeves, who does a thing he calls 'club style singing' like this video:
