Vancouver rocker Bryan Adams, whose Warehouse recording studio is a block east of our store, released a new Christmas video earlier this month:

Here’s Bob Dylan‘s version of the same song, a polka with something rarely seen – Bob dancing at a raucous house party. Bob inserts the names of 10 U.S. presidents while naming off Santa’s reindeer (originally there were eight reindeer in the 1823 poem A Visit from St. Nicholas, more commonly known as The Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore, an American Professor of Oriental and Greek Literature in New York City who made a fortune subdividing an inherited estate in the district that now is known as Chelsea). Rudolph the red-nosed ninth reindeer was a 20th century invention, spawned by the 1949 song by the singing cowboy Gene Autry.

This is a new Christmas song, released this week by Los Lobos, who recently did a Tiny Desk Concert, performing songs from their first Christmas album, Llegó Navidad. I first saw Los Lobos in the early 1980s at the Savoy nightclub above my Gastown store (now called The Diamond). This is Ellie Goulding singing a live version on BBC earlier this month of the Joni Mitchell classic River:

Joni wrote the song in 1970 while living in a cave in Matala, Greece; it’s about her break-up with Graham Nash.
