Thanks Danny and Scotty... I hope no one is offended by some of the images... just some stuff i found on a google search... I used my old Roland XP-60 keyboard that has the optional "Vocal Expantion Card" which has some great samples of the Jazz Vocal Group, "TakeSix"
Thanks for listening...

Frank,
This is creamy smooth like egg-nog and rich like home made holiday fudge.
This has a lot going on, but you have it all tamed and in it's proper places.
What a treat!
Have a blessed holiday.

Really pro sounding. Always love to hear you perform. Soulful vocals and harmonies. Lovely instruments. Pro sounding production. Not in any way offended by the images. I thought they were presented in a very artistic way but, this is so marketable I must add in a way the darker images would kind of leave a good part of the audience that would love this, children for one, out. If I was a producer looking for something for Christmas and I stumbled on this, I would certainly hire you, but ask you to replace the scary stuff with more Norman Rockwell hearth and home kind of stuff. Just sayin'.

Lovely stuff Frank  This gave me quite a strong Al Jarreau feel to it, the groove and the backing/scat vocals in particular. Excellent!

Your productions are always 1st class. I have no idea where you got all the santa pics (normal and not normal, LOL). I don't think I'll show it to my little Grandson yet, Ha!! I will play the music for all the Grandkids. They'll enjoy it. Didn't you post a different version of this last year? Either way, Merry Christmas, buddy!

great stuff Frank. I remember this from last year. And, your dilemma about whether to use the synth vocals or not. They sound good. Some racey santas there:)

Oh, Frank, you are gonna' wind up with coal in your stocking for those irreverent pictures of Santa It will have been worth it though for a fresh and cool take on some Christmas merriment music. Very well done, as always.
