This song was written and performed by Mark Kase and Tom Wagner, circa 1980. Mark had never written, played, or sung anything before in his entire life, but he had a talent for having fun, so doing this track was quite a gas! I convinced Mark that anyone could write a song, so we sat down with some silver bullets and wrote down our most intimate feelings... Then I turned on my TEAC A-2340RS reel to reel and we recorded this personal song in my home studio on that same evening... in ONE single spontaneous live take. And now after 34 years, you finally get to hear it! One month later, Mark Kase was the best man at my wedding in Hawaii in 1981.  Thanks for being there my friend!

Wonderful Christmastime

Ah, I get to write a public description about myself here!   I've been writing and recording music by myself for years because I was in the Navy and Coast Guard and moved around a lot and it was just easier to do it myself.  Although I do like to record with other "live" people too. The old days with real instruments and real-to-reel tape led into midi and synths and digital recording.  Now I'm a hybrid phase using anything and everything.  I used to record a LOT, I have hundreds of tunes, but now I'm slowing down to focus on tunes I really enjoy, usually NOT mainstream.  In the meantimetime  I hope you enjoy my posts.
