Merry Xmas to my loved ones, friends and
all. This album was made in 1991, when Xmas music just sucked (except for
the great classics, but still...), since then everyone and their
Grandmother has made Xmas music, but I think this still holds up well, and
is quite different. |

Side

Side This
is the Party music - 6 songs (4 originals) that rock, ska, blues
and even, god forbid comic country you through Xmas. Meant to be listened
to LOUD. The musicians that made up The 1991 Xmas Razz Band were all
brilliant beyond my skills to record them and they are some of the
sweetest guys and gals as people you could imagine. I'll reproduce the
original artwork by next Xmas (really, I will) |

Side That |
Side That
is John (one pass) Yeates. This guy just blows me away with his talent
on any instrument. Here he is with his arsenal of bent acoustic guitars.
All of these are just John, in one take, no overdubs, no editing. The guy
sounds like 2 or 3 great guitarists playing and offers up arrangements of
the classic Xmas tunes, that shine and amuse. Sorry for sounding like a
Kraft commercial, but it does taste good :) |

So Merry Xmas in 2006 to the
people that make my life special and to all. A Big Kiss, Hug or 'cough,
cough' Handshake to all those that I love or enjoy. Peace,
please.
Ian. 17/12/2006, thanx to all
and special thanx to my beautiful and smart daughters Julie and Alicia. |
