Fans of Beatles, Badfinger, Fogelberg, Moody Blues, Raspberries and other Retro Classic rock.
I am a fan of the Beatles, Fogelberg, Raspberries, Badfinger, Moody Blues, solo Beatles, Eagles. Any music that has solid vocals, good harmonies and a hook! I also am developing a fascination with old jazz standards. I am self taught on everything I play which explains my limitations. LOL! Up until a few years ago I was all accoustic all the time and did very little recording on an old 4 trak. I had written a lot of songs over the years on my accoustic most of those are not here as I started using the computer to record and wanting a more electric sound so out came an electric guitar, then I wanted a beat so the cheap drum machine came next, then I needed a bottom so the cheap bass was bought, then my drums sucked so I needed loops. Then I wanted some strings/sax so my keyboard was bought. Well you know the drill the more you get the more you want and songs that took 3 hours now take 3 days. And so my one man 6th grade band was born. I have put samples of the music I have written here on this website. I use drum loops and all other instruments are live Course you probably can tell that, LOL). Anyway as Harry Chapin's Mr. Tanner would say music is my life not my livelihood. I have met some great artists on SC and continue to hear great artists on SC. Click on the stations link to find Soundclick Radio stations where my music is playing. My music playing on these stations has been a pleasant surprise as these stations are filled with great musicians. I have also had the opportunity to collaborate with some very good musicians here on SC. My brother Jim, Svenni Bjorgvins, Juri Rosenfeld, Johnny Proctor, His Masters Choice, DeAnn Sanders, Dawn Sinclair and most recently Dawn Diamond. I am very grateful to all these artists for helping me to have more fun than should be allowed for free. Writing/recording/producing music I find to be very rewarding. I am learning so much everyday about every facet. The exposure to so many great musicians has really helped me evolve as well. Well if you are still awake thanks for coming by. Other SoundClick Artists I recommend: Click on their links to hear some great music! Jim DeLecce my very talented brother Great Musician and great help to me in too many ways to count.

Story behind the song
Christmas song. I had written Christmas time Again 10 years prior to this and I figured it was about time I had another holiday hit!
Lyrics
Special Time of Year written November 1995 Words/Music by Tony DeLecce It's the early signs of Christmas a Special time of Year Parents laugh and children sing Rudolph the Reindeer and it makes everyone feel happy inside makes you feel good to be alive Santa has so much to say to every girl and boy He says if you''ve been good this year Santa will bring you toys and every child will listen to hear what Santa has to say BRIDGE Children everywhere will be all ears Because its that special time of year Everyone feels that special way soon it will be Christmas Day It's the early signs of Christmas a special time of year Children sit on santas lap and call out to the reindeer On Comet, on cupid on Donner and Blitzen On Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Santa has so much to say to every girl and boy Santa says you better be good or Santa wont bring you toys And every child will listen to hear what Santa has to say And every parent is filled with good cheer when they here Santas sleigh BRIDGE People everywhere I filled with good cheer Because its that special time of year Everyone feels that special way soon it will be christmas day

Merry Christmas! Nice and uplifting Christmas song, one think Paul Mc Cartney is singing here...!! :D A very good arrangement for a song that really fits into the chistmas time, captivating melody, nice and up warming to listen to! -Spin-

Again, wish I'd heard this when you initially posted it, I would have returned to hear it during the Christmas build-up for sure. A "new" classic, very Beatlesque and super-cool!

Great song, very upbeat and perfect for radio airplay. My goodness...you sound a lot like Paul McCartney on the vocals - if someone had told me that he'd sung this I would have believed them! Excellent stuff.
