CHRISTMAS IN DETROIT

Between September 28 and October 16, 1992 we got together at our studio with some of our friends and recorded this album. We hope you have as much fun
listening to these songs as we had performing them. We feel very fortunate to be able to do what we do and we hope the spirit in which this album was made will
become part of your Christmas for years to come.

This album was inspired by the desire to do something for the less fortunate of our city not only at Christmas but all year. Some old friends were brought together, and some new friends were made. We wrote some new Christmas songs and recorded versions of our favorite classics. On behalf of everyone involved and all the great musicians past and present from this area we’re very proud to say “we’re from Detroit City…the soul of great music heard ‘round the world!”
