Searching for the grave of Santa Claus

Well this carol has been buried for some time now, but i was driving to camarillo yesterday and heard on the radio that they may have found the the actual grave of St. Nicholas, the 3rd century bishop, who was the inspiration for Santa.

Well apparently it's in Ireland. Experts believe that Irish Templers moved his corpse during the Crusades. Something like that; my reception was a bit faint.

The song is some sort of metaphor about how X-mas is lost or something. I guess i've always disliked the holiday, as you can see in my " my two cents " post. Lol.

Gabster used to play the jingle bells part, with sweet distortion, on the electric. But he was unavailable...so in the spirit of x-mas i sang that part...


searching for the grave of santa claus
some say it is forever lost
aimlessly searching thru mountains of snow
in the distance i hear a vague ho, ho, ho

my tears froze as i cried
i felt his grave was close by
then i saw a man with a long white beard
he looked down at me then disapeared

i started to dig as fast as i could
exactly under from where he stood
i thought the world i was going to save
but i was just digging my own grave

Wintertime Waltz

Although i don't recommend blackouts i do recommend waking up drunk..it's kinda fun. haha. Anyways this little piece, if it were written by a classical composer,it would probably be used as a study piece for novice musicians and have name like etude 39 . But since it's the only instrumental piece i composed i will showcase it by the the fire.
