Chris Heckmann & Dirte Elvis

It was two days before Christmas and all through the land

Many creatures were stirring and getting out of hand

They had no desire to stay home as the tree was already dressed

The shopping was done and there was no reason to be stressed

It was time to be merry and gather for some cheer

“Let’s go down to the Crazy Horse,” they said, “and have a few beers.”

It was a night for acoustic warmth in contrast to the cold air

The energy inside was crackling without any point of compare

Chris Heckmann went on first, the salt of the earth troubadour

He played a lot of Dead, cowboy songs and more

Then came along Dirte Elvis and his sound was so delish

The frontman from Knuf would do everything from holiday songs to Phish

Kind of like Santa there would be a freelance singer, guitarist and all-around nice guy

His voice is one so many of us have grown to love, the man known as Tim High

Come gather ye Nevada City faithful and savor these local treasures

Music is medicine; we live for these sorts of pleasures
