Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day (For my readers in Canada).
I’ve chosen two songs for today both in the spirit of Christmas.  The first one is by none other than Bruce Springsteen, as you know my favorite musician.
This first song is called “Christmas” (Baby Please Come Home).  Taken from a performance in December 2003 with [...]
