Rough Draft: Go you, real beard Santa

Phil Rickaby Rough Draft 0

This week’s piece is part of a project I have been working on that was inspired by last episode’s Krampus poem.

Awesome Covers: This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)

Phil Rickaby Covers amazing covers, kishi bashi, talking heads 0
