He-he-hey… Long live rock & roll! Absolute smash hit in Black & Blue Cafe ( Bardo str 222., Knowhereland, Universe), where Jimi Hendrix is playin some Texas Hold Em Poker with Brian Jones, Johnny Cash and Robert Johnson.
Your track is on the Hot 7 of BBC Christmas Chart

Thanks Air_Lomeg!!! I was even wearing a Santa hat and scarf when recording these tracks—because the garage gets a little chilly at night, even in San Diego ;-)

The hot chocolate and rum combined for a toasty experience! Merry Christmas! xoxo

i love this! you made me laugh and smile…..the ending is amazing - i can imagine it was a lot of work to play the bass and guitars in perfect time with that rocking drum track from BillyRay!

Thanks Snowflake! one for singing Jingle Bells with Caspian and Bianca, two for bringing me coffee in the morning to keep me warm, and three for the inspiration to record a holiday tune!

It was so much fun to record with Bill Ray! he is a treasure to the remix community here. His rhythms sparkle and sizzle with life. I’d imagine he’d never thought these tracks would be used for Jingle Bells :-)

HO HO HO! Merry Christmas!

Heh - love the rocking pounding beat to this, and extra points for the “Ha ha ha!”

(and all the free form jamming at the end.)

That “Ha ha ha” was my daughters idea…we were listening back to the track and she said, “dad, you’ve have to laugh right there” and now every time she hears it she laughs too!

Thanks for writing! Happy holidays!

I want one (or maybe two) of whatever it is you’ve been drinking because this party is just too fun! Definitely air-guitar worthy! Merry Christmas!
