I looked back at my post from three years ago about Pace’s first school concert and what song did I suggest would be a good, non-offensive choice but still “Christmasy”? Someone from […]
My month of unusual Christmas song posts continue with one of Australia’s best known Christmas songs – a song with no chorus about a man in prison wondering what the family Christmas will be like without him… “How To Make Gravy” – Paul Kelly
