From the first knock on the door of the recording “Any Mummers Allowed In?” everyone was ready and knew that what SIMANI recorded was destined to become a classic. Their LP “Christmas Fancy” was recorded in 1984 and “The Mummers Song”, as most people referred to it as, instantly became the most popular Christmas song ever recorded, performed or played in Newfoundland and Labrador. By this time SIMANI were already very popular and had recorded two previous LP’s “Saltwater Cowboys” and “Heaven By Sea”. After the release of the “Mummers Song” they were now major Newfoundland stars! The songs on “Christmas Fancy” as with most all of their recordings were written by Bud Davidge and Sim Savory made them shine with his instrumentation and production. In 1993 SIMANI recorded another Christmas LP “Ooh! Christmas Tree” and the tradition continued with Bud Davidge writing all but one of the of the songs for the LP and Sim Savory contributing two instrumentals and most of the music.. Both these recordings have been available ever since and this year, some twenty six years after the original recording, we have decided to combine both recordings on one CD and include three Bonus Tracks, two of which were recorded live “Old Christmas Card” and “C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S“ and have never been released before and a newer recording of Bud Davidge with Leanne Chaulk “Christmas Eve With You”. Sadly, early in 2010, Sim Savory was taken from us much too early after a long illness. He will be missed BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.
