Let’s hope for a better New Year than this last one. (Did I mention that he’s creative director of the best advertising boutique in Tokyo, Destination West?)įrom the bottom of my heart, Merry Christmas to all my friends who celebrate it. Dwight is a superbly talented artist with lots of street cred in Japan, not to mention many beautiful original songs to match. Hope you like it! (Scroll down for the Youtube link.)įor those of you wondering how an idiot like me can make such beautiful recordings, the answer is simple: all the credit goes to my talented friend, Dwight Waldron (pictured above), who, save for my vocals and humble acoustic guitar, produced, arranged, and played all the instruments on all my songs – and even sang the harmonies to boot! I now refer to Dwight as “Rumplestilskin” because he has the uncanny magical ability to spin my “straw” (=wretched vocals and guitar) into pure gold, no small feat.ĭwight has both a music website and YouTube channel, so please check them out, I promise you won’t be disappointed. The arrangement has a nostalgic 1940s vibe. In the spirit of the holidays, I recorded my all-time favorite Christmas song, HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS. I’m not a fan of all Christmas songs, but there are a few I love. This is my 6th remotely recorded song since this pandemic started.
