Merry Christmas Day!

Good times.

Merry Christmas from the Claes4 & Kyle Daily Photo

Merry Christmas 2013 from the Claes4.

Below you will find some photos from our Christmas Adventure this season... in Kyle & Buda, Texas.

We saw a lot of Santas.. :)

Also here's the track listing of our 2013 Claes4 Christmas CD.

Each year we choose 15-20 of our favorite tunes from the past year... burn them onto a CD and hand them out to friends and family in hopes of helping them discover some of the great music this area (and the world) has. For the first time... we've gone digital. So, if you'd like these tunes... click here - link. It will take you to the Dropbox where these tracks reside. 

Just do me a favor. If you like these artists... seek them out. Find them in 2014 and attend a show, buy a CD and shake their hand. The links go to their Facebook page.

Stop Peeking Around A Tree., a photo by seanclaes on Flickr.

I like the way the folks who pruned this tree (located next to the Hays Free Press on Center Street in Kyle, Texas) made it possible for the stop sign to peek through.
