Christmas special #2

Blues for Christmas - that means lonely holidays. That's what today's special is mostly made up of. Christmas in jail, or all alone, with no money and the woman is gone. Can Santa at least bring my baby back?

At the end of the show, there's a few in a happier mood. But it's all stomping Rhythm & Blues for the holidays.
