The Texan Drummer Boy...

TOl   Bo..... Its hard to find Good Friends... Then sometimes they just come along.... That was Bo...

I'll miss ya guy.... Drum on....

                Twas the night before Christmas and all though the house

Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.

The lawn ornaments cast a light glow on the yards down the street,

And Jingle Bells could be heard playing from the house across the creek.

From down the street came a number of low thumping sounds,

we wondered what it was when right after came the barking of hounds.

Next came the sharp rap from what sounded like someone tapping on a piece of tin.

That’s when realized it was coming from the home of that Crazy Texan.

We walked down the road to find out what was all the ruckus,

With my wife gripping about letting these crazy people move in among us.

We snuck across their yard and worked our way up to the window of their new shed.

Where the noise was coming out loud enough to wake the dead.

We peaked in the window and was amazed to see,

A white bearded fellow with a set of drum around his knees,

His Son-in-law was hitting a heavy bass,

his Daughter was play a steel guitar that fit right in place.

One of his Grand-Daughters sang Lead accompanied by her Sister

Grandma sat across the room working the sound mixer.

tweaking the knobs and switches to make it all sound just right.

Her t-shirt said “Yea, they call me the  fixer.

Some of the other neighbors sat of the floor swaying to the beat,

And when “Santa Bo” went into a solo they jumped to their feet.

His sticks were moving so fast while banging out the beat

It was quite obvious that he knew how to give the crowd a treat.

By the end of his solo the whole neighborhood stood there

listening and clapping totally amazed.

Then we danced and party’d until the early morning haze.

When finally we could party no more

He walked us to the door

and with final rap of his sticks on the garage door

as it slid slowly down we heard him sing out.

Hope ya'll enjoyed it folks,

it was fun having you here

Merry Christmas to all

and a Happy New Year!!!!
