Thanks to long time friend & listener Stephen Zajcowski for this drawing of me for this year's Christmas covers project, & deep gratitude to my dear friends who agreed to sing with me :))

12 Covers for Christmas DUETS 2022

Wax And Wane In Fixed Orbits

Neil Young wrote this song about getting too old to hang out in a club that was for young people up there in Canada :-)

This was a request from longtime listener Stephen Z￼￼, I thought it would be fun to record while the party was going on and there’s a few special surprises within the song that were so magical that I had to keep the first take!￼

Sugar mountain- Neil Cover cover with Myles Baer

You are my Sunshine - with Kim Lamothe

Kim is my ride or die￼, and has been my Sunshine for 20 years! When I first started my music career I didn’t have enough material for a two hour show, and we would split gigs in the Rhode Island area. 
She has since gone onto form her own award winning wedding florist and gardening company, Greenlion Designs.
￼ I’m incredibly proud to call her friend, and her music is amazing. You can still hear it on Spotify etc.!

Sunshine- with Kim Lamothe

Christmas Lobster is the Christmas classic you didn’t know you needed! 
Written and sung here by my friend Jacob Haller, that’s him on resonator & me on kazoo …what I lack in skill I make up for with enthusiasm!

Even though there’s a couple miss-takes, I had to go with this first run through because it’s so pure.
❤️🦞🎄

Please check out Jacob’s music & podcasts here !

The Christmas Lobster with Jacob Haller

Singing with my daughter Ava fills my heart with love!

We traded places this time, that’s me on electric and Ava on acoustic :-) I was going to try to save this one for last but I just couldn’t ❤️😍

Silent Night with Ava Callery

What is Christmas without the Ramones!? Thanks so much to my dear friend & Cosirecords label-mate Ryan Lee Crosby￼ for bringing the rock!!

Merry Christmas I Don’t Want to Fight Tonight-with Ryan Lee Crosby

“The first take, the fairies, imps, and elves carry you. After that, you’re on your own.”- Peter Riccio (The Sawtelles, Lys Guillorn & The Void Kittens)

Another first take magic take, & Lys told me the quote from her band mate which is absolutely how I feel.

I drove to Connecticut to record with Lys on a beautiful Sunday , road trips are fun for me , especially when you get to play music & eat some of Lys’s homemade bread & stew.

Lys had given me a whole playlist of songs to choose from, but I heard Holy Ghost from Low & fell in love.
I hope Mimi can hear , wherever she is ❤️

I have lost count of the years I have lain in this darkness [how the night came/SM]

Using slowed down fragments of recordings of pedalled piano notes, @stellato-strings touching her violin with the bow, a creaking piano stool and ticking clock, I created this piece using loops and effects on Ableton Live.

It's my contribution to this week's @naviar-records haiku prompt.

The title 'along' is taken from this haiku poem by Takashi Matsumoto:

'Flowing along
changing its colors
a soap bubble.'

Takashi Matsumoto was a Japanese poet originally from Tokyo. Born into a family deeply interested in nō theater, he also devoted himself to it in his youth until 1921, when he came into contact with Hototogisu magazine and haiku poetry. Beginning the following year, Matsumoto became a student of Takahama Kyoshi. In 1946, he launched the magazine Fue 笛 ('The Flute').

The image is from a fraction of a picture by Rodion Kutsaiev.

The Debut EP release from Perhard’s Wall, “The Tea Pea” - EP consists of 4 tracks. 
1) Hands 
2) Esperanza 
3) Somebody’s Got To Dream 
4) Munchausen. 
The band have said of the ‘Tea Pea’ EP: 
“The Tea Pea was recorded in 2023, after a good solid run at playing all the local bars and festivals to find our feet, we found ourselves hopping in our cars and rolling down to Orbital Studios , greeted by a dear friend and musical collaborator, Lucas Saunter. The studio, set in the beautiful surroundings of Rozel, with a backdrop of rolling meadows and a fresh sea breeze, we set out to capture the live raw sound that the cosmonauts who have attended our gigs over the years have come to know and love and with the hope that we pick up a few more friends and fans following the release. 
With tripped out jams that fit any 60s freak out records, vibrant passages of soul filled vocal melodies with a slight sprinkle of the band's love for grunge and Brit pop, this EP is sure to leave you wanting more. Inspired by friendship and created for our fans, the only real meaning behind this EP is to get people dancing at our live shows.”
Perchard’s Wall are James Perchard on vocals and bass, Greg Alliban on guitar, Joe Hutchinson on vocals and guitar and Aaron Bouchard on drums. 
All tracks on the ‘Tea Pea’ EP were composed by Perchard’s Wall with all the lyrics being written by James Perchard. The EP was recorded and mixed at Orbital Studio in Jersey, was engineered by Lucas Saunter and produced by Perchard’s Wall.
