It is now a Christmas Tradition Y'all. Apple Spotify https://soundcloud.com/tater-totts-radio/christmas-truckThis song has been described as perhaps "the most heart warming Holiday song ever written, a tribute to both Walmart Christmas shopping, and the heart of the American Dream." Christmas Truck By David Snyder V1. One winter night over Alabam Old Santa Claus lost his way He started off in the cold north pole And he was drinkin’ all the way The deers were scared Rudolph cried it wasn't much of a holiday When two miles outside of Birmingham Santa crashed his sleigh Round midnight daddy Found him The toys were nowhere to be seen Santa was sitting in the middle Of the woods And Rudolph’s nose was green Santa said sir I'm sorry I shouldn't have been drinkin' all that beer I guess I won't be bringing the kids any Christmas toys this year But Daddy said to Santa They're gonna have better luck Cause we don’t miss Christmas in Alabam And this year Santa Claus is drivin' a truck Ch: Yeah, Daddy is drivin' a Christmas truck all the way to Walmart town Two hours before the daylight breaks All the prices will go down Yeah Daddy is driving a Christmas truck All over the whole wide world Bringing some Walmart Christmas joy to every boy and girl V2. Little Jimmy is gettin' an iPhone Little April gets a Play Station 3 Mama is gettin' a Roku I wish they would give one to me If you believe in Magic You’ll find a way to make your own And Daddy has always known just how To bring that Magic home Ch: Yeah, Daddy is drivin' a Christmas truck all the way to Walmart town Two hours before the daylight breaks All the prices will go down go down Yeah daddy is driving a Christmas truck All over whole wide world Bringing some Walmart Christmas joy to every boy and girl Bringing some Walmart Christmas joy to every boy and girl Performed by the Legendary Tater "Nashville" Totts Words and Music by David Snyder The Immortal Christmas Question Lingers: Is Tater Totts David Snyder, or is David Snyder really Tater Totts? Is anyone on this forum really who they say they are? Think about it y'all. It keeps me up at night.

I remember this one. Is it the most heart warming Holiday song ever written? I believe it is!  Listened over on Spotify and gave it a "like" too for what that's worth. Really well done, David, enjoyed very much. Best to you and yours for Christmas.

Epic! This was before my time, but a classic never ages anyway. Great song, terrific rendition. Love the subtle slide (steel?) backing. It IS starting to feel a lot like Christmas around here...

Ah, tradition!! A terrific tribute, David, as only your masterful touch could pull off. I like the visuals --a view of Christmas we don't often get to see.

David,
Those are very interesting lyrics.
I understand what Christmas is like in America.
The vocals and backing track are perfect for these lyrics.
It's a great Christmas song.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Hello David,
Your Christmas Classic is always a good addition to the cheer of the season!
I live just 91 miles north of Birmingham - I think he lost my address. Well, it's a new subdivision and maybe he didn't get the memo about us. That could explain it!
Always a fun listen!'' Hope Santa was good to you & yours. And may 2024 be the best new year you've ever had. Wishing you health and prosperity.

Hi, David. I was struck by the grammar in this line: The deers were scaredSo I asked the internet Why isn't the plural of deer deers? and it said: If you look in a dictionary you will see that "deer" comes to us from the German "tier", a beast. German does not form the plural by adding an "s" as English does, so one deer, two deer, etc. Apparently "Santy Claus" also comes from the German, and not the North Pole, as Coca Cola would have us believe. (The Internet also says "deers" is grammatically correct, so it must be true!) Glad Christmas was saved again! Thanks Walmart and Monster Trucks! And Tater Tots! Or David Snyder? I've spent many a sleepless night wondering.

We do remember this and we’ve added it to the “must listen” holiday songs that include Robert Earl Keen’s Christmas with the Family. 😉
Regarding who is Tater and who is David, E.E. Cummings said that it takes courage to grow up and become who you really are!
Happy New Year!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
