Saddle Tramps' Dysfunctional Xmas

Saddle Tramps holiday concert

Above: Saddle Tramps lead singer and guitarist Scotty Roller playing with his heart and soul and other parts at the Xmas show.

For one, I didn't realize how cheerfully offensive "Cindy Brady Had My Baby" really was, and that's saying something. Between songs, the one-liners are better than late-night talk shows' (but probably wouldn't have passed network censors, anyway). The Saddle Tramps play Dec. 12 in Carson City and at the Pyramid Bully's for New Year's.
