Wow! It is so incredible! I never knew this would happen to me!

Oliver Gannon, the greatest Canadian Jazz Guitarist of all time, well maybe just THE greatest guitarist of all time anywhere, played on MY new Christmas tune!!

How in the world was I able to pull this off! I don’t know, but Happy Holidays everyone!!!!!!

Another White Christmas

V1

I want to sing about another white Christmas 
A Christmas that's whiter than white 
There's a white Christmas snow 
and bright mistletoe 
In the country club clubhouse tonight

CH:

Bing Crosby and Friends 
The fun never ends 
With Buffy and Timmy and Slim 
Every song is so gay 
And we can't wait to play 
Another game of Christmas croquette 

V2

Just like yesteryear 
All the dreams we hold dear 
Will come true with white Christmas cheer 
The white stars are so bright 
And red Santa's in sight 
For another white Christmas tonight

CH:

Bing Crosby and Friends 
The fun never ends 
With Buffy and Timmy and Slim 
Everyone is so gay 
And we can't wait to play 
Another game of Christmas Charades

V2 (repeat)

Just like yesteryear 
All the dreams we hold dear 
Will come true with white Christmas cheer 
The white stars are so bright 
And red Santa's in sight 
For another white Christmas tonight

Hi, David.

I get the feeling there's some sort of subtext to this song, but I can't quite figure it out... wink

And playing "Christmas croquet" is a real thing, right? laugh

Fun song!

The next time someone asks me to sing "with a bit more upper crust" in my voice, I'll know what they're talking about.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Sir David,

Excellent use of BIAB - to capture that magical Bing-era holiday sound (not Chandler Bing).

I do hope you were wearing a white tux with top hat and dancing cane.

Great use of the horns and BIAB vocals.
Oliver did you proud.

Excellent.

Happy Everything.

David, you really nailed the "Bing-era big band Christmas genre".

This must have been a hard to do mix with all that is going on, however you nailed it!

Super vocal also.

loved it

PS - it is hard to play croquet in the snow here! But I've never been that drunk wink


I went line dancing last night. Well it was a roadside sobriety test, same thing.

WOW!! This whole piece is incredible, David. First of all, just writing a Christmas classic like this is daunting enough, but putting it all together so well is unimaginable. Man, there is so much going on in the mix, and yet each track shines through. This song is even better on the 2nd spin, and that's what Christmas songs are supposed to be.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Subtext or not smile this is a trip back for us.

My parents were big band folks and I got exposed to it in the 50's.
And Janice is a big fan of film from the Bing era.

All meaning it, as said current vernacular, resonated.

As others have said the band is outstanding,
Excellent use of the horns.

The write and arrangement are perfecto for the vibe!

Good stuff there Mr. Dave. I liked the horns and the trip back in time. This made it feel like Christmas even with the eighty-degree weather here.

Thanks for a pleasant stroll down memory lane.

Hey David ...

Another Christmas Classic in waiting? Could be! Love the big band style. I grew up listening to quite a bit of it. Ya don't think I'm that old? I can actually remember when Harry Truman was president! And nope, no arthritis, back pain, I can still run (not do the old man shuffle) and run 2 miles under 21 minutes! I've been so nicely blessed!

This was such a treat to hear. Still smiling as I type.

Best to you.

Alan
