Kirk and Jamie Christmas Song Playlist

Kirk and I always made our own Christmas cards, and in 2001 we made a CD and mailed it to our distribution list at the time. It was somewhat simple (MIDI files and GarageBand) but fun and people seemed to like it.

I got a couple of requests for the files this year — a few people played it as a Christmas tradition (no accounting for taste, I guess) and so rather than just rip my copy of the CD, I went back into Kirk’s GarageBand files to process the originals.

Boy am I glad I did.

In addition to the 2001 original CD, there were a few Christmas songs from a limited distribution 2009 CD. And a slew of others that he recorded and I didn’t know about. In all, there are 28 Christmas songs, most of them featuring Kirk solo. A few from 2001 feature my attempts to sing, solo and with Kirk, to varying degrees of success. We had fun, though.

There’s also a bonus song #29 – “A You’re Adorable”, which was originally recorded for our godson Zane Pagano. There are a lot of other non-Christmas Kirk songs that I found, which I will post at a later date.

As our Christmas card distribution list changed over time, some of you might not be at all aware of the existence of these songs. Maybe for you this is a pleasant surprise and I hope you enjoy it. For the rest of you, it may be a reminder of something you forgot about.

I’ve converted the songs into YouTube videos with a static title slide, and put them into a playlist. The playlist is set to private, but feel free to share the link if you so choose.
