<p>This is a song a recorded around this time 32 years ago as part of a Xmas tape that I put together for my sister and her family who were living in Japan.It was recorded on a Teac 4-track in a home loft studio at 351 Jay Street in Brooklyn - since torn down to make way for a new Brooklyn Union Gas headquarters (they were really threatening to move to New Jersey!).When this happened I decided to head west across the Brooklyn Bridge and ended up on the island of Maui.
<p>Also on the recording were loftmates John Klett, drums and percussion, and Joe Cerato with Santa voices.The steel drum like solo is by your truly on an Arp 2600.
<p>John Klett was working at Clack Studios at the time and shared the recording with it eventually getting in to the hands of WNEW DJ Vin Selsa who played it Xmas morning twice!I lost track of the recording, but via Google found a post by WFMU DJ Amanda Nazario.

Merry Xmas from Brooklyn

Got the bug at age two singing Volaré at the U.S. Consulate in Florence Italy, fasting forward to playing bass as a teen  in Barbados, experimental music in NYC after college, and recording topical songs on the island of Maui.
