   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 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. .
