Annual Holiday Music from WYWH members & friends!

[Eroc]

Ho ho ho!

Once again and by request, here are two holiday songs that I produced a few years ago and always like to share during the holiday season.

"FATHER CHRISTMAS" is a faithful & spirited cover of the Ray Davies/Kinks tune that I recorded with Tim 'TJ' Hanculak (former drummer from WISH), Cy Sulak on guitar solos, and my Michael Stanley mates Paul Christensen on keyboards and Rodney Psyka on percussion & sleigh bells. I sang the vocals and played bass and rhythm guitars. This was recorded 6 years ago as a follow-up to the NorthCoast Noel compilation CD that never happened, and this seasonal posting is the only time it's available to the public.

"BLUE CHRISTMAS" is available for sale on the NorthCoast Noel CD (with proceeds going to the Salvation Army) and features myself on bass & vocals along with Austin "Walkin' Cane" Charanghat on slide dobro guitar & vocals.

WYWH guitarist Mark Brennan and vocalist Marla Brennan are also featured on this CD, with their version of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas."
My acoustic duo mate (and WYWH co-founder) Jim Tigue has an original song on the CD entitled "Your Gift Is Your Presence".

Another great vocalist who has recorded holiday music featuring WYWH members is our friend Myrtle. She has set up a special MySpace page where you can listen to these songs for free, or download for a very small fee.
"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," which I co-produced and performed bass & vocals, also includes WYWH member Bob Barno on saxophone and percussionist Tim Ginley on drums. This track is also included on the Northcoast Noel CD.
Another Myrtle track (from the unfinished sequel CD) that features myself on bass long with former WYWH drummer Tim 'TJ' Hanculak and guitarist Tall Tom Denk is "Silent Night".

Happy Holidaze, my friends - hope you enjoy the music as much as we enjoyed playing it!

.. and bumping this up for all to enjoy.

Also, I have a new song to add... however, seeing that it is a new release on a CD with proceeds to charity, I can't make it available for free just yet.

The CD is "Tis The Season - A Heartland Holiday Sampler" and is a compilation produced by Michael Stanley and featuring not only him and members of his band The Resonators (of which I am the bass player), but also other local & national artists, including Colin Dussault, Alex Bevan, Andy Pratt, and more.

The song I contributed to the disc is a raved-up rocking version of "Grandma Got Runover By A Reindeer" and features WYWH members Mark & Marla Brennan, Sharron McPherson-Foxx, Jon Darling & Jim Tigue along with many other Cleveland players including Tommy Rich, Austin Walkin' Cane and Colin Dussault.

The CD is currently available only online at www.linelevelmusic.com. It ships from their local office and part of the proceeds benefit Feed-A-Family and other charities.

Cheers -
