Santander holidayfoodsong @ Uncommon Ground Clark Tu. 12/23

My prescription for the fever of holiday present-wrapping is choral music with more cowbell: The Rookery men's choir at Uncommon Ground Clark tomorrow, Tuesday the 23rd, at 8 PM, singing songs about seasonal feasting in an intimate 40-person room with great food and beer:

Cover is $10 at the door. A flavor of songs we are singing:

De Mornin' Come, West Indian Carol

Papa serenading
mama in de kitchen
we done killed the piggie
de ham-bile a-ready

Ginger beer and sorret
Christmas tree lights blinkin'
hear bamboo buzzing
de dirt oven smoking

Apple pone and sweet bread
pidgeon peas and hoghead
black cake prune an' pastel
for de Fete de Noel.

Featuring special guests Samodivi, Balkan women's folk ensemble.
