<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2386962/open_sms">Send us a text</a>I love the scene in National Lampoon&apos;s Christmas Vacation where Chevy Chase is in the attic and he steps on board after board that hits him in the face.  I used to almost pee my pants over that part.  This music video for Blame It On the Mistletoe reminds me of the sentimental scene that follows the slap-happy board face-smacking scene. Clark found old family movies and he&apos;s reminiscing. Colleen was purposeful in having the video have that feel as well as a nostalgic timeless feel to the song. Colleen used her contacts during the pandemic to get this video created.  She remembered asking a bandmate and his wife to do a kissing scene since you know, no actors during the pandemic were going to do a kissing scene, LOL!!  Colleen shared about the venue, The Standard, in which the video was recorded. Colleen has performed there many times and met a lot of stars throughout her singing career. She had her friend, Nikki Williams, sing back up on this song. Nikki has some pretty impressive chops and is the go-to in Nashville for songwriting. Colleen gave the inside scoop as to how she and Nikki became friends.  Nikki was all too happy to back up Colleen.  I hope you all check it out but I don&apos;t hope for you to get it stuck in your head for a week, like I did!  I &quot;blame it on the mistletoe....&quot; This is on my personal Christmas playlist and will stay there for all future Christmases.<a href='https://www.virtuallyyouva.com/post/ep-7-s3-blame-it-on-the-mistletoe-with-colleen-orender'> Full Show Notes </a>

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2386962/open_sms">Send us a text</a>Dan Steward reflects on how The Mighty KC by For Squirrels became part of his personal and musical memory. He first heard it in Gainesville in 1997, and when friends from California came to visit, they knew it too. They all went together to buy their own copies—and soon after, they started a band. As a member of Strange Day, Dan saw parallels between his band and For Squirrels—the same drive and scene. If For Squirrels could do it, Strange Day could too. The song still sticks with him today, tied to friendships, shared experiences, and a moment in time that’s never really left.<a href='https://www.virtuallyyouva.com/ourpodcast/b/new-blog-post-6378'>Full Show Notes</a>
