Radio Presenter Dialogue - Piece Of Mind - Come Together

Noel catches up with Murray Foster. The bassist is one of the founding members of the Canadian band, Moxy Früvous. After the band went their separate ways, Murray joined Great Big Sea. Murray directed and wrote The Cocksure Lads, a movie about a fictitious 1960's British band.
Currently, he is the founder and CEO of the Toronto Songwriting School.

Murray Foster (Moxy Früvous, Great Big Sea)

Music composed, performed, and produced by Chris Andrews, whose songs have been covered by Roger Daltrey, David Essex and other notables. The track for “Written In My Heart” was recorded in 2011 at Songcrafters Studio (in Beavertown PA) with Skip Kline at the board. Chris and Davy worked on many projects over the years. As it turned out this track was the perfect “swan song” when it was released just days before Davy passed away on February 29, 2012. Davy truly took ownership of this sublime pop song.

ERIC ALEXANDRAKIS Silver Moon [A Tribute To Michael Nesmith]

Written by Michael Nesmith. 

Produced, performed, recorded and arranged by Eric Alexandrakis in first takes on a 16-track recorder.

On December 10, 2021, pioneering songwriter Michael Nesmith [The Monkees],
who is also the inventor of MTV, and a major influence upon the development of  the home video market, passed away at  the  age of 78.  His  passing  has  left  a  hole  in  the  world,  but  his influence lives on forever.

As a songwriter and overall innovator, Nez has been a great influence upon my music.  His passing affected me greatly and pushed me to record a cover of his solo classic “Silver Moon” from his 1970 album LOOSE SALUTE.  I’ve been wanting to record this song for many years, but as life tends to get in the way, I suddenly found myself drawn to giving Nez a send-off to his next cosmic journey, in my own way.  So I fired up my 16-track recorder, played all of the instruments myself in first  takes to keep it spontaneous, singing through guitar pedals, and released my version of “Silver Moon” 20 days after Nez’s passing...on his birthday.  

I hope you enjoy my recording, and Nez’s music.  EA x

VERSE LYRICS
Well, jingle those bells and deck them halls
With Frosty, Rudolph, and Santa Claus
And a mistletoe and a dreidel too
These are Christmas words I heard from YouTube
Let’s keep it real, it’s December again
Trim up the tree before you make it go Timber again
We in the winter again, well if you’re Northern at least
And we’ll be bumping every Christmas song that’s royalty free!
‘Tis the season for snow butts and candy spears
For nutcrackers that don’t work and Kermit fears
For myrrh and gold and frankincense and happy tears
And eggnog that’s been expired for 30 years
So let’s toast to Jack and Erin Douglass
Their first married Christmas sure won’t be loveless
Now get your sweaters on right with Sundae and Klondike
‘Cause like a light-switch, nothing turns us on like…

a christmas song for jacksfilms 2018

Inspired by two royalty-free Christmas songs by Jack Douglass (Jacksfilms), and then some.

"Let's Not Talk About Politics"

CHORUS
Let's not talk about politics
At the Christmas table
Let's not talk about politics
At the Christmas table

VERSE
When we could talk about better things, red-letter things
More relatable topics, like “How’s the weather?” things
Like, “Tell me, where’d you get that ugly-looking sweater?” things
Or, “That’s a cute white dog, can I pet her?” things
‘Cause there hasn’t been a decade nearly this unstable
So let’s pass on the politics, skip the labels
Take a step back, just be happy where we’re at
Where we at? (At the Christmas table)
So this year, take some time to spruce up the tree
Chill with the fam squad, meet the family
Make Christmas cookies and cocoa and cards
Watch Charlie Brown, The Santa Clause, Die Hard
But most importantly, just remember
To keep the love going far past December...

CHORUS (x2)

UKULELE SOLO

"Traveling to See Grandma"

CHORUS
Traveling to see Grandma
Traveling to see Grandma
Traveling to see Grandma...

VERSE
‘Tis the season of giving
‘Tis the season of snow
‘Tis the season of figuring out where ornaments go
It's a season of laughter
It's a season of cheer
And of seasonal Starbucks lattes for this time of year
We on the downhill slope, sledding down the quicker half of this
White Christmas turn red when you’re wrapping gifts
Bake another ham again, go and see the fam again
Never enough time, running out like Hamilton
If that’s you, take this as a gift
To wish you a Christmas filled up with bliss
When the Mistletoes and Uncle Joes leave you feeling something cold
Love’ll keep you warm, come give us a kiss

CHORUS
