Art chasing sound.
The band is me. I have been a musician since age 7 (i'm 44 now), and that's pretty much all I did. By age 32 I was working in an average of 6 bands at a time and still practicing 36 hours a week. That's when I got nerve damage in both my arms and couldn't use them for 5 years...not for eating, lifting, playing...anything. 2 surgeries and 3 more years recoup, and I am back in short bursts. I write and track everything in 1 take as I can't play for long. Guitar is my main instrument (studied it the most), but have been playing drums and bass since age 10, and have actually worked the most as a drummer. I can't really use my left arm much so i drum with my fingers. It gives it a unique sound. (Don't worry, it's not wimpy... I can still break sticks!)

Story behind the song
Christmas Song 2012 “It Sucks to be Santa Clause” Hello you all and welcome to this year’s tradition addition. (you like that?) I realize that the last three years have featured some odd music, so this year I made a batch of musical cookies. Everyone likes cookies! The track is 2 minutes and 40 seconds long (minus the obligatory goofiness at the end) and has a hook and it is the closest thing I will do to a pop song (for free). It’s all sugar, baby! No odd meter, dark chord voicings or solos. Everything goes how it’s “supposed to”. You’re welcome. I saw that hand. Top Gear UK (the American one is lame) did a series where they voted on the best driving song ever. The six finalists were all within a few BPM of each other, so that’s what I went with. Line up on that freeway onramp, crank the volume as loud as the minivan speakers will take, and when light turns green hit play and mash your right foot down. Leave it there for 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
Lyrics
"It Sucks To Be Santa Claus" It sucks to be Santa It sucks to be Santa VERSE 1 HEY! Now that I have got your ear, This tale may seem really strange and insincere, I promise you dear. STAY! For a while and let me say A few things about this day we all look forward to and welcome with delight. CHORUS 1 Not for me It is stress and misery And it’s plain for me to see That it sucks to be Santa It sucks to be Santa! It sucks to be Santa! VERSE 2 I… will be grossly overweight, No matter what it was I ate last week with grand intentions My feet shall be obscured. Kids… will you please make up your minds And stop going there in line to tell me what you want, when your parents will decide CHORUS 2 By the way No one likes the toys I make I’m no gamer and don’t skate We will make wood soldiers. I’ve no son Christmas has already one Who forgives you of your sin Boy, it sucks to be Santa! HEY! HEY! It sucks to be Santa! It sucks to be Santa! HEY! HEY! VERSE 3 HEY! Now, and what you got to say? Don’t get me started on the sleigh… Billion chimneys in a day I know life’s going nowhere. CHORUS 3 So I say Please enjoy the holiday, and embracing all that ends, forgive families and friends, love, try to give instead of lend, and be careful what you spend. Will it matter in the end? Still it sucks to be Santa Claus.
