Can you tell me…WHAT IS CHRISTMAS? An old chestnut from The Sleestacks (Kalamazoo, Leppotone) pulled from the 4-tracks archives and re-uploaded just in time for the holidays. Merry Christmas!

What Is Christmas

The Sleestacks proudly present Freedom, ca. 1990, here in an extended remix. Take a stroll down Psychedelic Street, USA (which was Ann Arbor, MI at the time of the recording). Enjoy!

Freedom

Before serving over 30 years as a radio writer, producer and director at educational station WETL in South Bend, IN, my dad Jerry Limbert was a Jr./Sr. High School English teacher in Oxford, MI in the late 1950s to mid 1960s. He often directed plays for the students and worked with Leta Beemer in the endeavor. Of course, that directly lead to him befriending Brace Beemer! My dad invited Brace to speak at a Jr. High dance on April 10, 1960 and interviewed him that evening and later as the kids asked their own questions. On December 26, 1964 my dad met once again with Brace in the Beemer’s Oxford living room and held another interview session. He refers to questions by someone named “Ben Smith” but we are not sure if this is a pseudonym my father made up or not (to add drama to the event). In any case, here are 3 unheard interviews of Brace Beemer by my father Jerry Limbert. Enjoy!
