Tom Dyer and the True Olympians - Christmas in Olympia

from The Good, The Bad, and Other Christmas Favorites! by Green Monkey Christmas

/

about

This is the debut release from the True Olympians. I moved back to Olympia about a year and a half ago – once I got settled in I figured it would be fun to get some kind of combo going. I called up Gene who I played with in high school. Got intro-ed to Tom by Greener Boy Scott Vanderpool. Tom is in another band with Joe, we invited him over and off we went (Joe played in No Toy Boys with the late Tom Alvord, who I also played with in high school - geez). Besides these fine Christmas songs (we made a few neato CDR singles of this and “Christmas Is Love”), I have 12 new songs that we are recording next. I will probably get around to making us a Facebook page but for now just go to Tom Dyer’s Unpopular Music www.facebook.com/Tom-Dyers-Unpopular-Music-479699182040939/ to get the fresh lowdown.
Eleven or twelve Tom Dyer albums can be found at: greenmonkeyrecords.bandcamp.com

lyrics

Christmas In Olympia

I think that I’ll go downtown
A chill is in the air
Gonna get a little gift
For someone I care about
Think I’ll get some chocolate at
Encore Chocolate and Teas
Gonna hit up Rainy Day Records
For Christmas songs from Beat Happening
Christmas In Olympia

Going to the Capitol Rotunda
Gonna hug their festive tree
Gonna head to the Capitol Theater for the
Procession of Species Christmas Jamboree
Rolling up to Eastside Big Tom’s
Get my girl a peppermint shake
Hangin’ out in Sylvester Park
I think I see that first snow flake

David Scherer Water say
Forty-one bars in our downtown
That’s a lot of Christmas cheer
Baby gonna meet you at the Rhythm and Rye
Christmas In Olympia
