In this case, the part of Santa was played by Mr. Martin Borden, a superstar artist who brought out two cameras, two shooters (including himself), recording gear and all the necessaries to back it up, filmed my band at Jazz Fest last summer, edited the whole kit and kaboodle, and handed me the lot on a stick.  I kid you not.

Now I am spoiled rotten.  Oh well.  Thanks, Santa.
