Story behind the song
I have been playing my guitar and singing most of my life, as either a soloist or as the front man in a band. I knew at a very early age that I could play any instrument and that I could pretty much play any song after only hearing it once. I feel blessed with this gift of being so musically inclined. I always knew I could sing. I can remember listening over and over to Fats Domino’s “My Blue Heaven” on my mom’s record player when I was two or three years old in New Jersey. That particular song had a great impact on my life. The way I felt hearing that song made me want to give that feeling to others. I dedicated my life to that goal. I grew up making music whenever and wherever I could with whatever instrument was at hand. I started writing songs. When I heard The Beatles, I was in the 8th grade. I knew instantly how good they were and immediately started playing their songs. I love The Beatles and could always imitate them. I felt I was born too late and that had I been older I would’ve hung out with them and been part of that creative 60’s music scene. I continued writing songs and putting bands together and performing regularly through out my high school years. I attended college on Maui, Hawaii for two years and moved back to the New Jersey. Moved to Florida, where I met my wife Mary and then to California, where our three children were born. In Los Angeles I had the distinct honor of playing at the first Beatlefest with my first Beatles band, Blue Jay Way. Then came Beatlemania and Beatlefever, where I portrayed Paul McCartney for several years touring extensively, culminating with performances in the main showrooms in Las Vegas. I felt about as famous as I could get, imitating someone else, but that I was compromising my own creativity. I threatened to quit many times but the money and attention was too great. While on the road, I missed my wife and children. Finally, after turning down a trip to Japan and New Zealand, we moved to New Jersey and then to Ohio, raising our children. I write and record my songs at home and share them with friends, family, and you.
Lyrics
CHRISTMAS IS COMING Christmas is coming. Anticipation growing fast. Time for a present. Time for remembering the past. My favorite one, the gift of His Son. Christmas is coming. We�ll decorate our house and tree. A special place we�ll find for our nativity. Thank God for Jesus. He�ll never leave us. Angels sing. Church bells ring. Christmas is coming. Santa and his sleigh are near. Shovel the walkway for family and friends we hold so dear. Join in a prayer for peace everywhere. Angels sing. Church bells ring. Christmas is coming. All the kids can hardly wait Be sure to tell them what it is we celebrate. God gave everyone the gift of His Son. Angels sing. Church bells ring. Christmas is coming Christmas is coming
