Welcome! Here is your free Christmas MP3 download gift. Enjoy and Thank You!

While working on new music for my 2009 release I wanted to record something especially for those folks who have purchased my music and supported my art. But what to record?

As a young kid some of my earliest recollections of music came from my father who was a gigging jazz pianist and trumpeter at the time. The music of Louis Armstrong and Fats Waller often filled the music room, so I’ve chosen a song of that era made famous by Old ‘Satchmo’.

Recorded late one snowy December night in a small cosy house in western Ontario, here is my interpretation of ‘What a Wonderful World’.

Just click on the gift box above to open the MP3 for you to then save and enjoy!

All the very best, DRM

i don’t get it. i’m on tour and in the airport washroom and the suit next to me takes a leak and then walks straight back out into the world without washing his hands!
i don’t care how immaculately hygienic he believes his tackle to be, i for one don’t want to be closing the deal shaking hands with his proxy schlong monkey grip. sure, i could imagine a slight unwillingness to wash your hands when in one of those horror truck stop latrines with no soap, a broken hand dryer, the exit door has a wet handle and i don’t want to touch anything, but come on! we’re in the international lounge, there are no doors, two types of soap, hand dryer, paper towels and even a hand sanitizer gel dispenser for extra paranoid measure.

you know, i get the feeling that the next pandemic ain’t gonna come from some guy who sucks rooster beaks but from some internationally traveling business cock who would rather smear his groin nasties all over innocent folks then order the McFries for finger licking goodness…
