This morning I put on my new black jacket and my new black shirt, and I drove off to the CBS station in Sacramento, where I met up with the rest of our little musical ensemble. We practiced nervously in the green room (which, by the way, is not remotely green at all) and put on painted silk scarves to add just a touch of color, and avoided checking ur watches at all until they came to get us. And then we all marched out, single file, to the studio and lined up on a giant map of the Sacramento area (there were jokes made about traffic being backed up due to black shoes in the middle of the freeway) and there were sound checks and cameras began to swoop in, and then suddenly they turned to us and introduced us, and the director looked at us and we all took a deep breath and then we opened our mouths and we sang.

Tis the season for Holidailies
