The name Cross Dresser for the band page came about because my mostly male collaborators were singing my female viewpoint lyrics!

Story behind the song
Resurrecting the Original St Nicholas in words and Music
Lyrics
St Nick [A Carol to Generosity] A strange man lived in a Turkish town* His coat a sunset red His beard so white Like a snowy night And, so the legend said: His heart burst with so much love That he almost seemed aglow Vowed to spare no cost On the poor or lost He'd help them, but they'd never know Chorus: It was him, Saint Nick Who healed the sick At heart, with a special surprise Sacred rites When the North wind bites Bringing fuel to delight the eyes With treats in boots, for destitutes For mothers in widow black weeds Children with sorrows Or lonely tomorrows anyone else in need He gave orphans warm wool stockings For the shivering, gifts of coal Oranges, sweet, for the invalids Piled high in a serving bowl Candles for sullen windows Gold for the empty purse Puddings for barren cupboards A blessing instead of a curse Chorus: It was him, Saint Nick Who healed the sick At heart, with a special surprise Sacred rites When the North wind bites Bringing fuel to delight the eyes treats in boots, for destitutes For mothers in widow black weeds Children with sorrows Or lonely tomorrows Anyone else in need Tag There's a generous hand In a Christmas land That touches us all a bit So if moved to give please throw off the lid of the spirit of Good Saint Nick Chorus: Cause the spirit of Nick He heals the sick At heart, with a special surprise Sacred rites When the North wind bites Bringing fuel to delight the eyes Treats in boots, for destitutes For mothers in widow black weeds Children with sorrows Or lonely tomorrows Anyone else in need * Myra, a town in 4th century Greek Asia Minor, now present-day Turkey Lyrics: copyright 2005 SongBird Cooper Music: SongBird Cooper/Mikah MacEachern with backing arrangement by Keith Marchetti
