Saw the picture of the crowded parking lot and thought about shopping for Christmas presents, then came up with the words.

Lyrics

Woke up this mornin', got a lot a things on my mind.
I have to do my Christmas shoppin'.
How many presents am I gonna find?

Chorus
I got the Christmas shoppin' blues,
Don't wanta do this no more.
Can't stand those crazy shoppers
Don't wanna see another store.

I don't like that pushin' and shovin',
Can't stand them parkin' lots.
I'd rather be home playin' music and drinkin' them whisky shots.

Chorus
Can't find what I'm lookin' for,
My head is spinnin' round.
Those crazy prices are gonna make me poor.
I got to stop and sit right down.

I pay my wife to shop...
First off, great job. If I got you right, other then the vocals
and the harp, everything is MIDI, including the lead guitar?
Wow! Did you do the MIDI stuff with a keyboard? If so,
you could have done a hell of a keyboard track which I
would love to hear. Also, I would have loved to hear that
harp out front, no effects, in a solo. Oh yeah, the sleigh
bells – nice touch.

I feel your pain
Love the James Taylor licks in the intro. I actually was
dragged shopping on "Black Friday" (for the first time,
after a lifetime of resistance, why did I give in?) and I can
feel your pain. Christmas needs more blues songs. The
slide blues solo over the jingling bells was also another
great touch. Lead guitar could have been louder, I really
liked it. Nice drum choices. The "parking lots... whiskey
shots" rhyme as another highlight. This track is great fun,
thank you for the smile. Topped by an appropriate photo.
Nice work.
