Since the monumental discovery of the Rock, Paper, Scissors Society last week, discovery has been pretty tepid.
That said, I was quite excited to find this free Christmas song from Sixpence None the Richer. It’s beautiful, and free, and as much as I like beautiful, I really like free. (Some thoughts on a recent concert appearance, and an explanation of their name here.) “…so kiss me…”
And thanks to one of the esteemed faculty members of Covenant Theological Seminary, I learned that my preppy name is “Rucker Garrison Vanleer the Fifth”, but that most people know me as “Topper”. I have NO idea what lies behind this.

I suppose it could be worse. 🙂

Thanks for the tip on the song: downloading now! And, btw, I am Averell Lenox Fenwick the Fourth, but most people call me Missy. How weird.

Could be worse? Uh, I’m not sure. It makes ‘Randall Ray’ sound solidly lyrical….And about the song, Missy, I stumbled upon that accidentally while looking for another song. I’m excited.Yours, Topper

Waaaay back when Six Pence None the Richer was practically nobody, they put on a concert at Palma Sola Bay Baptist Church (now The Bridge). Shoulda’ gotten their autograph then!G

G&K, yup. . . they were originally from the New Braunfels area of Texas, just north of San Antonio. SA had a great little indie station that featured them on Saturday mornings. . . I have a. . . get this. . . a cassette from Sixpence from that era. (Sheesh. My kids hardly know what a cassette is!)

Well, I have an 8-track…Just kidding.

One of my happy memories is going out to my Dad’s car, and listening to his 8-track player in the car. . . Simon and Garfunkle.

Your dad must have driven antiques since the 8-track ended its run sometime in the mid-70s, unless you are a LOT older than you look!
