“I Believe In Father Christmas”
As the holidays come upon us I want to share some Holiday spirit with you.
On December 8th, 2010 I released a version of Greg Lake’s ‘I Believe in Father Christmas’ right before I left beautiful Colorado, heading for Los Angeles to sing for ‘The Constant‘.
I created a video with a collage of pictures that I had taken throughout my five years in Colorado, mostly in Boulder. Frank Yanno, the guitarist of the Constant created all of the music for me so I could sing over it. At the end of the video I promise Colorado that I would come back someday. Funny isn’t it that the woman I live with and love deeply is from Colorado? And that is where we will be heading December 26th to share this time with her family.
While I was with ‘The Constant’, Frank wrote a beautiful Christmas song called ‘On Christmas Day’. What he did was brilliant. Every year he has a HUGE party where he cooks, etc. and while he had everyone there he got them to be in the video. There is a part in the video where my mouth is moving but you’ll hear another voice. The other voice was a guy that was on the recording but couldn’t make it down to L.A. for the video, so for the sake of the video I ‘Milli Vanilli’d’ it. It only happens once, but still it’s weird to see me singing with another voice coming out of my mouth. 🙂
And the last thing I’d love to show you is something that ‘The Constant’ never released. ‘The Constant’ did their version of ‘We Three Kings’ with me singing. It’s very reminiscent of another song that we did called, Three Wishes, that was never released with me singing. But you can hear a version of it with the former singer of ‘The Constant’, Steve Feldman right here… Three Wishes.
It was a joy to find this traditional Christmas Carol. I had almost forgotten doing it.
We Three Kings
Happy Holidays!
