Here are a three fun holiday songs that I wrote and recorded with AJ.

• "Christmas Ain't the Same This Year" is a Stax-style r&b ballad about long-distance love in the holiday season.
• "When Christmas Comes Around" is an old-fashioned train-beat country song (demo'd here as a duet) about a country family Christmas.
• "If Only Mister Santa Claus Were Single" (sung by Angela) is the sort of Christmas song we think Marilyn Monroe might have sung to President Kennedy.

Please feel free to share a link to the songs with your friends! 

Any singers or bands interested in recording these tunes should feel free to contact me for cds, printed lyrics, or lead sheets/charts -- as well as to discuss publishing splits for master recordings.

Thanks for listening, and happy holidays from Hog Branch!
