As we approach the holidays, people are making all kinds of
anticipatory preparations and gift plans. But part of the experience,
for better or worse, is the soundtrack.
For many, hearing the same old, same old Budweiser Clydesdale theme mash-up with Frosty and the dreaded Chipmunks over and over again ad nauseum is enough to make your ears shriek for mercy and relief.
What a fine time to present an alternative. The Community Café Music Hour & the Hudson River Community Credit Union have teamed up to create an All Local, All Original CD of seasonal and holiday Music. This CD is being sold at Saratoga's Community Credit Union and all Hudson River Community Credit Union branches as part of the annual "Credit Union's Care for Kids" campaign.
The CD sells for $8 and features a 'baker's dozen' of original songs by artists that have composed their take on the holidays. The songs reflect a local, collective perspective. And the profits from the CDs' sales benefit stay local to benefit pediatric care at Glens Falls Hospital, Saratoga Care, and Sunnyview Rehabilitation & Seton Health.
All the musicians donated use of their songs. The cover art use was donated by Clara Mae Orto, a Corinth resident.
On Sunday November 22 the Community Café Music Hour will preview the CD, in its entirety, with comments by the show's host (and one of the CD's performers) John Kribs. The hour long, Commercial free show airs on Q101.7 FM every Sunday at 9 a.m., and rebroadcasts at 10 p.m.
This CD was facilitated by Dennis Towers, who is the Founder & Producer of the Community Café Music Hour & Creative Director at McKinley Griffen Design & Advertising. Mr. Towers comments:
Community Café CD
Brings Local Music Home for the Holidays
"I consider this to be the best original holiday CD you will ever own. These songs are destined to become the seasonal classics of our region. When so many parts come together to create a wonderful product, one that is truly local and benefits local community services, you have done things the right way. This community effort casts a positive light on every artist and business involved."
