Paul McCartney: Wonderful Christmas Time

One of the nice thing about the Beatles is that every Christmas they created some cool songs and recordings for their fans. Paul in 1979 made this song, with his band Wings in that spirit. Of course John Lennon also made a Christmas recording in 1972. Happy Xmas the War Is Over.

Jimmy Witherspoon: Ain't Nobody's Business

Witherspoon's signature song Ain't Nobody's Business.

Johnnie Taylor: Good Love

The late great Johnnie Taylor. Live in Dallas Texas.

Gig Update From Sonny Rock

This just in from Sonny Rock

Seasons Greeting to All!


I'm proud to be helping the Police Benevalant Association with their annual fund raiser and Christmas Toy Drive.


This event will be on Saturday December 12th at Windham Mt. Ski Slope.


6:30pm-7:30pm will be cocktail hour at the bar on the 3rd floor of the lodge.

7:30pm-8:30pm dinner will be served in the dinning room at a cost of $20.00.

7pm music will start on the main stage. There will be 6 bands playing jazz, blues, & rock
untill 11pm.


You are not obligated to have dinner!

A small donation or an unwrapped toy will do the trick
!

Once again, I am proud to be the musical coordinator of this very special event. I hope we can make Christmas very special for the the children.

Thank You Very Much!! Sonny
