I agree with you on Santamas (that's what I call the commercial version 
that's more about gifts than God's love & sacrifice)

What Easter songs are overplayed?  I can't think of any Easter song I've 
ever heard in a store. . . Might be a geopgraphical thing?

The one I think of has Rudolph in a La-Z Boy, with a rifle in his hand & 7
reindeer heads mounted on the wall above him; caption: "They USED to lauigh 
& call him names."

I thnk we covered this one in FUNNY a short while back?

I love their older stuff, before Dennis DeYoung died (his voice really set 
the tone for Styx' original sound, I feel.)

I have several of their original vinyl LPs, including "Paradise Theater" 
which has a picturte of the heritage theater's facade in laser-etched
iridescence.

Had another one of theirs in orange clear vinyl -- that one I sold, though,
sadly. . . :( 

One song with a Styx like quality, IMO, is "Echo Beach" by Martha and the
Muffins. . .

It kind of blends well with "Too much time on my hands"; between them you 
can drift away into an imaginary tropical paradise, in true arse-parked-in-
a-hammock retirement. .
