Apple Spotify https://soundcloud.com/tater-totts-radio/christmas-truck This 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.

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.

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.

I was struck by the grammar in this line: The deers were scared So I asked the internet Why isn't the plural of deer deers? and it said: Originally Posted by "The Internet" 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. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
