Christmas gives me the crazyhead. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the baby Jesus, it's just all of the expectation, commercialization, greed, neurosis, travel nightmares, and terrible, god-awful music that gets me down.

Many years ago my late friend UK Roy Duncan sent me a mix tape. Roy and I exchanged a lot of tapes over the few years we were friends and we'd never include a tracklist because, I guess, we wanted each tape to be a surprise. That was my thought anyway.

Bessie Smith - T'ain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do ( buy ) (1923) Jimmy Witherspoon - Ain't Nobody's Business ( buy ) (1947) Here's one of these blues standards that was sung by almost everybody.
