Question about bar names....

I was thinking of calling our bar "The bald Parrot" -- mainly since I am bald.

Also considering "Santa's last stand"

Any better suggestions out there? I wanted to be unique and clever both -- and I'm not sure either name I have does that....

Something to think about as we listen in tonight. Thoughts appreciated!

Thanks... maybe I'll keep it.

I'm thinking of attaching some (thin) plywood cutouts to bar base... so now I have to learn to draw a bald parrot

Sounds a little "hollow" today... what does the stage/setup look like tonight?

well, I can't think of a good name for the bar, but I think an inscription is in order:

Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum
Santa's run off to the Caribbean
He thinks about boat drinks and fun in the sun
Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum

or maybe

Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rhum
Santa's run off to the Caribbean
Marimbas, calimbas, he's playing steel drums
Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rhum

Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rhum
Santa's run off to the Caribbean
A week in the tropics and he'll be all right
Sporting a tan as he rides out of sight

hello prenna & welcome!

Sounds a little hollow to me, too, santa (I'm on Media Player tonight) but I will think, like bixx, that I'm on the lawn

I love the new version of this song

prenna · Post by **prenna** » August 21, 2003 9:36 pm

Sounds like they may have fixed the sound - crowd noise isn't there anymore
