Dinah, the character who sings "Arizona Ash", also gets to sing "Spinning, Spinning, Spinning Underneath the Christmas Tree" - one of the Christmas songs I wrote for the play Roots in Austin.
It's a sweet and simple tune about a pleasant Austin custom. Several generations of Austinites have gone to Zilker Park in the days before Christmas to spin themselves dizzy under a Christmas tree made from many multi-colored lights suspended from a Moon Tower. People like Dinah were once spun in circles by their parents - now they spin their own children.
Spinning, Spinning, Spinning Underneath the Christmas Tree
