about

Starting in 1979 with a fairly terrible song called “I’m a College Student,” which you will never hear, I often drafted my bands to perform a song on my Christmas greeting tapes — usually without telling them what the song was. To maintain the happy Christmas surprise, I would just teach them an arrangement and dub on the vocals later. For instance, the Karl Rossmann Band did a terrific ska-style “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree” in 1980. Here’s an original such number addressing one dimension of my feelings about the holidays.
