[Bill Haesler]

My, my, my! 
Youse Yanks do go on about your Christmas song CDs.
Thanks to Dave Richoux we now have all the words to "Deck Us All With Boston
Charlie".
And we all know, I'm sure, that the great Pogo's creator, Walt Kelly, was a
jazz and Fire House Five + Two fan. (Refer their Good Time Jazz LP 12018 '
FHF+2 Goes South')
Also note the following jazz references in the lyrics to "Deck Us All ....."
