And now for something completely different ...
Nice piece of music!
The picture reminds me of an instrumental song I played with one of my first bands, must have been in 1986 or 1987. It emerged from a long jam and after a couple of weeks it took on it's final form and we only needed a title for it. It didn't take me too long to come up with a title for it, which all the other band member agreed it was the right one: 'The dance of the pregnant hippopotamus'.

Anyway @marcel, it's *days* to Christmas still ... no need to be playing Christmas music yet ...

RIP King of Tone Leslie West. He had this incredible sound out of a Les Paul Junior with a P90, made famous by the track Mississippi Queen when he was in Mountain.
Mountain’s second album was called Nantucket Sleigh Ride. Bare Knuckle Pickups call one of their P90 models Nantucket. And the set neck, wrap-around bridge, Bare Knuckle P90 loaded Bailey Bandsman is called a Nantucket too.
Just to confuse things, here’s Leslie West getting the same astonishing tone out of a headless Steinberger.
Jack of all trades and master of my own destiny. It’s only a small destiny.
The most hilarious Christmas song I've ever heard is this song by Mike & Thomas. Unfortunately for most of the forum members it is in Dutch but I'll see if i can translate the lyrics and post it here. The song is called "Glitter op mijn lul" which means "Glitter on my dick".

Here's the translation of this song:
I don't have much to do all year round
I'm just lazing about my life
I listen to a good record every now and then
I am watching 24 DVDs
I am not depressed or unhappy
I just don't get excited about nonsense
I only come alive in December
Because at Christmas I have glitter on my dick
Glitter on my dick
Glitter on my dick
At Christmas I have glitter on my dick
It is not pleasant stuff
It stings and it is rough
But nevertheless, each year I have glitter ... on my dick
I'm not a fetishist, I'm not kinky
I am also not sexually frustrated (no of course you’re not)
I am only discreet where required (and you’re doing it well)
My parents taught me that (and that’s how it should be)
So apart from a jerky walk
I still seem the same wimp in every aspect
But in my underwear, there is a party
Because I secretly have glitter on my dick
Glitter on my dick
Glitter on my dick
At Christmas I have glitter on my dick
It is not pleasant stuff
It stings and it is rough
But nevertheless, each year I have glitter ... on my dick
Glitter-on-my-dick-glitter-on-my-dick-glitter!
And believe me when I say: I never wanted this myself
I have wasted tons of money on many materials
But spray snow cannot be removed and is therefore unsuitable
I was continuously pricked with holly or pine needles
I've tried it with confetti and with garlands
Those were stupid mistakes and I learned from them
I am not depressed or unhappy
I just don't get excited about nonsense
I only come alive in December
Yes because then I feel fitter
At Christmas I am never bitter
Because at Christmas I have glitter on my dick
Glitter-on-my-dick-glitter-on-my-dick-glitter!
