I know it's only been a week since the last update, but we wanted a reason to email you again without you feeling like you have just been spammed! Here is an mp3 of a super-rare Toad song that was written, rehearsed and performed just once. It was recorded live at the Athens Theater, Georgia in 1991. I had completely forgot about it until I went through some old cassette tapes the other day. It's called "All I'll Ever Need" - sorry about the quality but it's the only version that exists. -todd

We just recorded our 6th annual Lapdog Christmas song Happy Christmas (War is Over). Check out the holiday music page for all six songs. We also have some shows coming up. Friday, January 27th in Santa Maria at the Loading Dock. Tickets will be pre-sold as it is a smaller club. The next night, we might play in San Luis Obispo, and L.A.. More details soon on show specifics. Come see us if you can, we'll even play a half dozen Toad songs as well as songs from Lapdog's two CD's: Near Tonight and Mayfly.

If your looking for that last minute Christmas gift, go to our store and orders received by Dec. 21th will arrive by USPS Priority for Christmas. The first 25 orders will also get a free Lapdog DVD.  So get a new Abe's Record's ringer tee or hat- just like Johnny!  Speaking of Johnny: Lapdog's guitarist now has an 11 song CD and it's available here on Abe's Records for only $9.95. You can check out a few clips on the Abe's Records music page.

Hope you all have a great new year.- Todd
