Well, this isn’t jazz, but it’s been part of my Christmas Morning tradition for the past 30 years, or so. Take a moment and listen. You’ll be glad you did. Merry Christmas!

My dad used to play this very same story to us. I think he had it on cassette. I haven’t heard it in a long time.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (UVA Basketball Edition)
(Verse 1) You know Taine, and Cofie, and Blake, and Jerome, Reece, London and Guy,
but do you recall,
The most famous Cavalier of all?
Rohde the backward dribbling guard,
Had a ball that was extra bizarre,
And if you ever saw it,
You’d even say it’s hard,
All of his dribbles go back, not far.
(Chorus) Oh, Rohde the backward dribbling guard,
He dribbles all night, makes the defense tired! And Cofie needs to drive and dunk with force, If only he’d show some more drive, of course!
(Verse 2) And then one winter game so bright, Coach Sanchez called him to his side that night,
“Rohde, with your moves so unique,
I have an idea, let’s make this team peak!”
(Chorus) Oh, Rohde the backward dribbling guard,
Keeps the defense guessing, but we need to go hard!
And Taine, shoot more! It’s time to fire,
Your shots could take us even higher!
(Verse 3) Now Cofie, he’s strong, but lacks the spark,
He’s got the talent, just needs to leave a mark! LRA told him, “Cofie, be more bold,
Your aggression will lead to victories untold!”
(Chorus) Oh, Cofie, be aggressive, drive to the hoop,
Show 'em you’re a force, don’t be in a group! And Sharma, let’s go, shoot that three,
We need your range for the victory spree!
(Bridge) And then there’s Robinson, sitting on the bench, DTW is calling, “Get in and make a big hoop to clinch!”
But Blake’s out on the farm, with potatoes to grow,
Guess his farming skills are just the way to go!
(Chorus) Oh, Robinson, get off the bench, We need your play when the game gets tense! And Blake, on the farm, plant those spuds, We’re all about that Idaho blood!
(Outro) So here’s to the Hoos, in orange and blue,
With teamwork, and shooting, we’ll break through!
From Rohde’s odd dribbling to Cofie’s bold drive,
We’ll win the championship, that’s how we’ll thrive!
Yes, we’ll win the championship, that’s how we’ll thrive!

Merry Christmas from Nashville!
i enjoy reading everyone’s thoughts and rants about Virginia sports. Hoping for better teams in 2025, but moreso asking that the Lord bless you all richly in the upcoming year.
