专辑简介

In my retirement years, I am NOT retired. As a Strolling Troubadour I am performing 30 and more dates a month at retirement homes, skilled nursing facilities, and memory care units around the south San Francisco Bay. Over the years my December shows have grown in content until I have what you hear here. This song, HERE COMES SANTA CLAUS, my version of Gene Autry’s wonderful Christmas carol, is part of my very first solo album, MERRY CHRISTMAS. Some of it is live, some of it from my home studio, some of it a hybrid of both. All the songs are from my youth with special memories of my family and childhood. Many I learned from my Grandmother, an amateur but accomplished pianist. I began singing in boys choirs in the mid-1950's with music lessons and eventually picking up guitar in 1962. I became a professional in 1968 and now have put all those decades of experience as best I could into this song and all the songs on my album.
