Release Notes:
Late one cold winter night, our Little Drummer Boy found himself
alone in his chilly recording studio. Busting out the Jingle
Bells he decided to break the unseasonably eerie Silent Night and
play himself a song or two. ôSome of My Favorite Things,ö he
muttered to himself as he stared at his vast collection of musical
instruments strewn throughout the room. ôO Come All Ye Faithfulö
he sung to his horn section as he mustered the musical muscle to
Deck The Halls. Old Saint Mick joined him on the black and whites
and the two of them knew that as long as they had tunes, they
would not be alone this Holiday season.
Across the street and Away In A Manger, a baby stirred and itÆs
mother and father said ôDo You Hear What I Hear?ö Curious as to
the origin of the festive musical mayhem the father trudged his
slippered feet through the snow and knocked on the studio door.
As it creaked open, the father extended a cold but firm handshake
ôWeÆve never met, have you always been here? Where are you from?
What A Wonderful World of music I hear!ö he said. ôO, (a) Little
Town of Bethlehem,ö chuckled the drummer boy and Old Saint Mick.
ôOf course, where else!ö said the father. ôSorry am I keeping you
up?ö apologized the drummer boy. ôNo, itÆs no bother,ö said the
father. As they were speaking the local police officer happened
to stroll by and enquired ôEverything ok here fellaÆs?ö ôOh no
problems here,ö they replied. ôWell, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,
then,ö said the police officer. After a few more pleasantries the
father decided to ditch the mother and child and join the Little
Drummer Boy and Old Saint Mick for an all night sherry-fueled
funked-up jam session. They left the tapes rolling and the CD in
your hands might be the result of this session. It might equally
just be the latest album from Shawn LeeÆs Ping Pong Orchestra,
done psychedelic Santa style. Either way, Christmas has never
been so funky!
