With a brief intro from Doug Draper

I can’t help but think that right about now we could all use a break from the daily news which, let’s face it, has often been quite the downer these days.
So how about a little Santa music from the one and only ‘Boss’ of Rock & Roll, Bruce Springsteen.
I first heard Springteen perform the song that follows with his E Street Band before a full house at the old Buffalo Aud on December 4th, 1980 and it hit the spot as part of a long encore for a concert that had already been rocking on for more than four hours.
That December, 1980 concert remains one of the greatest shows by any group of musicians that I have ever seen, and I’ve been fortunate enough to see quite a few, and the song I am posting from a Springsteen tour that included the Buffalo show is – just in time for Christmas – is ‘Santa Claus Is Coming To Town’.
The video of Springsteen and his band performing the song is sometimes little dark but is well worth watching.
I would advise pouring yourself some Holiday cheer and cranking the volume up till it shakes the ornaments on your Christmas tree.

This is the best Christmas song ever and my favourite! I always say it’s not Christmas until I hear this song. Thanks Doug! Happy Holidays and all the best for the New Year!
Thank you too Brigette and here is returning wishes for the best in the New Year. Doug Draper
