Squid played me a sample of this. It's as good as those Ultra-Lounge Christmas cds I'm so fond of. Kind of like the Three Suns, Martin Denny, Esquivel, & Perez Prado all having a big Christmas party together. I've ordered myself a copy.

Wow, a new CD already. Cool.

Thanks, Sabu~ I really dig that Ultra Lounge Christmas stuff, too. The analogy to those musicians is greatly appreciated. Certainly was the vibe I was shooting for. Thanks for your order! Give Squid a hug fer me!

Same to you, there, Virani- thanks for your order- will ship out late next week. In hindsight, I only wish I could have had you throw some of your hot theremin on a few tracks. Next project!

Mahalo again, fellas...

I could have. Christmas songs sounds great with the theremin...

we all got to play around with a theremin at the SPACWE AGE ALBUM exhibition we saw in Seattle..
They had one for us large kids to play with!
POWAH!

Go Andy! 2 albums in a year!?!?!?
ZIPFIZZ!

POWAH!
Heard a lil bit of these in Seattle during our Top Secret Mission up there!
These Sneak Lissen's just got my blood all Candy-Cane Flavored!
Exotic,happy,enough twists on standards
to keep the well-educated audiophile entertained and grinnin!
Especially like the Blaxploitation meets Bossasalsanova on God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen!
Never liked that song...until now!

Go Andy!
2 albums in a year!?!?!?
ZIPFIZZ!

Jason~ Thanks for your support, buddy. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

Virani~ Ah, regrets! Your Theremin would've been a gas on "Christmas Island."

Kenny~ Thanks for your multicolored feedback & so glad you were here for the super secret sessions. Stoked that you're now a "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" convert. Jimmy Smith does the most amazing version of that song I've ever heard. And lastly, I'm happy to have changed your blood type to Peppermint Positive.

CHEERS~

Check is in the mail...or in these hi-tech times, the check is in the Pay-Pal. Can't wait! And another home run on the cover art.

Coincidentally, the Christmas CD 3-pack from Double Crown arrived today in the mail, and lo and behold on "Seasonal Favorites Vol. 2" is "somebody" named Joe's Ocean playing "Deck the Halls." :)

AH, yes, Paul~ the pre-cursor to Tiki Joe's Ocean. That one was given to Sean at Double Crown a few years ago. That version is quite different from the new one you'll be hearing soon. It was certainly an "Esquivelian" arrangement. Thanks for your order, buddy! Hope all is well in Rose City~

Cheers~

Andy!

Thanks for the fast shipping of the CD my friend - I received it last night.

Didn't get a chance to preview it last night though, too hectic.

I will this weekend for sure. I like to be in a relaxed mood when I listen to perfection!

Mahalo and if I don't talk to you again this year, God Bless you, your family, and have a joyous Christmas holiday. Cheers! Greg

Just got mine today.....

TESTING COMPLETE...

JINGLE BELLS is the first
and my absolute FAVORITE on the CD
Where else can an accordian fly into Perez Prado's face on a Christmas song?!?

If you know Andy
you'll feel all that fun and happy
that you feel when you see him LIVE
on THIS CD....

i usually hate most Christmas albums
but you make this one
with sooo many twists and turns
kinda like Bach's Brandenburg Concertos
but for Christmas
instead of an insomniac Duke...

Thanks for the check for my testimonial!

Stop payment on Big EEyore Dude's payment
and send it to a worthwhile cause!

Just got mine yesterday--it's fantastic! I didn't know what to expect and was surprised to see traditional Christmas songs done up Tiki style. I love it!! This will be playing throughout the holiday! Thanks and keep them coming.

Great CD Andy!!

A nice disc to play during the holiday season!!

Keep up the good work!

Cheers and Mahalo,
Jeff

Y'know, listening to this CD yesterday without any other audio distractions going on, I was struck by how much is "going on" musically here. Reminds me of Dean Elliott's "Zounds! What Sounds!" classic album. I may have to slip on the headphones to hear everything. Cool!

Thanks KINNY~ Ahh, Bach! Nice. YOU and your cohorts made Jingle Bells the fun that it is. The spirit of Billy May was with you at that session. Now everybody stop reading this and go buy Ken's shirts!...then come back here.

Thank you, VeroTiki. Keep it spinning! Will surely let you know about the next project.

Mahalo, Jeff. Very glad you enjoy it and thanks for your great support this year. See you at Oasis 10? Hope so.

Rum Balls~ Cool! Thanks for the Dean Elliott reference. Please do slip those headphones on, but make yourself a Pi-Yi with a frozen pineapple first!

A Cool Yule to you all~

Andy
