In a new video on Youtube from Billboard magazine, Si Robertson talks about his reading of the “Night Before Christmas” for the “Duck the Halls” Christmas album. Si says that he lately finds himself mistaking Willie for Santa. “I don’t always see or hear things as well as I used to, and it is easy to mistake Willie for Santa. That is the basis for my new rendition of this holiday classic. I mean, come on Jack! Willie needs to lose a few pounds and get the white out of his beard.” In the video, Si sounds like he didn’t really agree with Willie’s interpretation of the poem. “Leave that up to the audience once they get it, whether it’s better or not.”
