Banjo Christmas Sales Too Early

By Walker Hayes

Does it drive you up the proverbial wall when retailers fill their stores with Christmas stuff long before Christmas? Then you are much like my wife Angie. Stores need to get ahead on Christmas sales, especially with the current economic downturn, and when you consider that Christmas sales may be the biggest part of what they do all year, it's understandable the way they develop their sales pitch early. I respect their need to do that and it doesn't really bother me too much. But it drives my wife Angie crazy. She will grab early Christmas ads up and post them to the refrigerator door as a reminder not to buy a Christmas gift from that retailer. It sounds a little intolerant, I know. But here is what she said to me.

"Shopping seems to be the only thing we think about at Christmas these days. Shopping is necessary, and is a big part of Christmas, but it shouldn't be the main part. We should be thinking more about the giving than the shopping. Retailers should think some about that too. If they come out with all their Christmas stuff two months before Christmas, Santa stations with elves set up, long lines of children waiting to tell Santa all they want for Christmas, with all the bump and tug, it puts too much emphasis on buying and selling.

"Names are drawn and Christmas gifts are bought, not just for the kids, but for everyone, presents are wrapped, stockings are hung, all this hustle and bustle and commercialization of the season seem a far cry from the simple idea of being together as a family or with friends just to count our blessings. All this flim-flam about trees, and presents, and Santa Claus tends to obscure the marvelous truth about what each person has in his or her own heart and expresses as the gifts of spirit, sharing and warmth. Instead, it's nothing but beggars beg and spenders spend, drinkers drink and vendors vend, or something like that-however that ancient rhyme goes.

"The day after Christmas there's even more shopping, all the stores have after Christmas sales with everyone charging into the stores to exchange or return many of the Christmas gifts sent to them by people who really didn't know what they wanted or didn't have the time or money to get what they wanted. Think about it, what a refreshing thing it would be to take away much of the emphasis placed on getting Christmas gifts and look at the truth of what Christmas should be. With a fresh start, we could then add Christmas gift giving that stems from real feeling, beginning with thinking about God's gift. I know you agree with me Walker, don't you?"

I didn't answer. I can understand my wife Angie's point of view, and I've learned not to argue a point about which she feels strongly, or any other point come to think of it. Having said that, I see no harm in offering advice to people like me who sometimes neglect Christmas gift shopping until Christmas Eve. It's just a reminder, it's not like we're being sold anything, at least not at that time. We all know that stores must sell Christmas trees, lights, ornaments and other Christmas stuff-if they would just not begin the process until after Thanksgiving dinner is served.

But these same places sell all kinds of stuff throughout the year that people will be buying daily, not just as Christmas gifts, whether it's before, during or in some cases after the Christmas season. And I don't see anything wrong with them telling people not to forget that Christmas is only two or three months away so don't forget. I don't mind getting those reminders at all, but not my wife Angie. She'll grab one up, and on the frig it goes, faster than a mantis can bite off the head of her mate.

I know my wife Angie will likely be reading this at some time or another, and, just as I've learned not to argue a point with her, I've learned just as well to apologize in advance when I take another view that is different from hers. So here I am, kind of disagreeing and sort of apologizing all in one whack, and I'm not sure I can get by with either, much less both. - 18762

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Review

By James Ronald Wellingston

So much is said about The Beatles legendary 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band but I think too much of what is said is about it's historical significance and the like. Not enough attention is paid to the music itself. And that's why with this article I'm focusing entirely on the music, one song at a time.

01. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" - This opening track really sets the mood for the entire album. The song shifts styles abruptly just like the album does from song to song. And of course the crowd noise and the entire "Sgt. Pepper" concept are introduced here.

02. "With a Little Help from my Friends" - The perfect song for Ringo Starr to sing. John Lennon & Paul McCartney wrote this song together specifically for Ringo to sing which I think makes the great lyrics all that much greater (think of them in that context.)

03. "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" - This psychedelic journey through the mind of John Lennon remains one of the band's most famous songs. I love how it goes from the visions of the verse to the exciting sing along of the chorus.

04. "Getting Better" - The "it couldn't get much worse" lyric that Lennon added to this McCartney song is such a great example of the way that Lennon and McCartney made each others songs better even when they weren't righting them "eyeball to eyeball" like in the early days.

05. "Fixing a Hole" - Tracks 4 through 6 are a beautiful slice of McCartney magic and I think this is actually my favorite of that great trio of songs.

06. "She's Leaving Home" - Another great reason to get The Beatles in Mono Box Set. This song sounds faster and higher (by a semitone) in the mono version. It's a treat to hear!

07. "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" - How brilliant is it that these lyrics were taken entirely from an 1800s circus poster that Lennon came across? I believe a big part of real genius is being able to be inspired by things that most people wouldn't notice. This is a good example of that.

08. "Within You Without You" - I know a lot of people just can't get down with this kind of music but I certainly can. It's a really tripped out journey into the center of your own mind or is that your own heart? Or perhaps it's India!

09. "When I'm Sixty-Four" - I love how quickly the musical styles change with this album. We go from a carnival to India to music hall!

10. "Lovely Rita" - I definitely enjoy this song as well but I must say that I do think tracks #10 and #11 are the least interesting tracks on the album.

11. "Good Morning Good Morning" - There's some interesting time changes in this one. I also love the Jimi Hendrix style guitar leads by Paul McCartney.

12. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)" - This song, of course, ties together the whole album by linking us back to the first song. It gives the impression that everything we've been hearing (even though it's all of these wildly different styles) has been a part of one big performance by this fictional band.

13. "A Day in the Life" - This is the best example of John & Paul combining their ideas to be something greater than they were on their own. This is also the best song ever recorded by anyone. It's just pure brilliance. - 18762
