Rock N Roll Santa
I can't really tell you too much about Chicago's Jan Terri (her website seems to have vanished); I did manage to find a short film (scroll down) about her. A good analogue is (if you're from the Boston area like I am) our very own BJ Snowden. Except that Jan is a chauffeur, not a music teacher. I stumbled upon today's song on a compilation (buy it) of performances from the Chic-a-Go-Go TV show (a cable-access kids' dance show hosted by the effervescent Mia Park that has amazing musical guests).
Rock N Roll Santa
The CD came out in 2000 but Jan's track seems to have originally aired in December 1996. This is one of those songs that, after a few listens, latches onto your brain and refuses to let go. Oh, and to connect this to my most recent post, Yo La Tengo released a cover version on their limited edition Merry Christmas from Yo La Tengo EP in 2002 that, while good, doesn't quite measure up to the original.

Hey, sorry to see this blog slowing down. It's become my favorite since the holidays, feeding my fix for Christmas coolness. In fact, just wanted to thank you: today I got my "Oklahoma" CD by Spearmint and I'm on my third listen. GREAT stuff, and I never would've known about it if not for your recommendation.
