I wrote this song looking back on my least favorite new years from way-back-when. This new year, I’m thankful that even then, the songs still haunted me, and (better yet…despite all doubts) love got through. Here’s to a new year of faith, hope and love. Especially love.
A Totally-80s-Christmas scene I totally stumbled upon last month. Rad.
I give you: “Give You the Ghosts” by Sanoma (the band I get to play in when I’m not playing in my band)…free for the taking (i.e., downloading, sharing with friends, singing along with, etc.)!
If I could write songs that sound the way this looks, I would…and someday, maybe I will. Until then, I take photos so that I won’t forget.
Click above for “A Little Christmas” music, and may it add to your merry week!
I play in a band called Sanoma. It’s one of my favorite things to do. Today, we’re working in a studio in B.C., finishing up a perfectly, wintery Christmas song just in time for this fine, fine holiday. I sure like it all: Sanoma and this song, and this holiday. More to come oh-so-soon about “Give You the Ghosts.”

This is, undoubtedly, one of my favorite Christmas songs. The words were written as a poem on Christmas Day 1864 and were set to music less than 10 years later. I recorded it nearly 150 years after that.
It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas a few weeks ago (as shown here)…and that was a few weeks ago, if you know what I’m getting at. Things I like here: charming, little Christmas trees, brick walls, tree ornaments, felt snowflakes, candy bowls, grandma’s piano, and coffee table books from friends.
If you ask me, red & green are totally in right now and candy machines are making a comeback (as if they ever - ever - should have gone out of style). So, sure, filling up my carousel candy machine with festive-colored candy might make me trendy. If so, I’ll take it.
