If you see a fat man … Who’s jolly and cute, wearing a beard and a red flannel suit, and if he is chuckling and laughing away, while flying around in a miniature sleigh with eight tiny reindeer to pull him along, then lets face it…
Thanks for the add !!!! One of the truly outstanding and best bands ever .... Period! Rick's autograph is still on the back of my 1976 Gibson Explorer, signed in the early 80s, way after I saw this amazing beyond words "Beyond The Universe" original lineup several times in the early 70s - A few years before my axe was even made. Incredible band, sheer awesomeness live & in your face !!!!
