A Good Kind of Xmas Music
I am pretty sure that the only time I've seen the Dave Drebes Players is during the holidays; I have one especially fond memory of a show at the old Commonspace storefront in Grand Center, with Mary Lisa singing backup and Kurt Groetsch on bass. I'm all awash in nostalgia this season anyhow, because those weird frilly tree garlands are back in style- the ones that were big back in a time when the Heatmeiser was just a little stop-motion animation character and not a band - so to further the nostalgia (and that's a big chunk of what holidays are about anyway, si?) I may be trotting down to go see this; since it's got that other component so important this time of year, that is, it's for a good cause.
