Merry Larry Christmas (Thanks for the Memories!)
During the 2008 Christmas season, I offered my “Merry Larry Christmas” CD as a free download to everyone who was interested in downloading it.
CD Cover
Over 4000 copies of the CD were downloaded and given as presents to all those who enjoy traditional instrumental Christmas music.
The CD’s worth of instrumental MP3 files received numerous praises from the many varied people who took the the time to download and listen to the music.
In addition to being offered here on the Electric LarryLand site, it was also offered as a free download on my friend David Wilcock’s site entitled Divine Cosmos.
Some of the comments reflect their thanks to both David (for allowing the CD to be posted there) and myself.
Here are a few of the selected quotes from people who have downloaded, then spoken highly of “Merry Larry Christmas”:

I just listened to this and it is by far one of the best holiday compilations I have ever heard! It is now on my list of favorite Christmas music, and I will definitely be sharing this with my family and friends. Thank you both for sharing such a beautiful musical collection. I love it! Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to both of you and all you love. -

Thank you so much for making this album available online, I really enjoyed it. I am not usually into Christmas music because it is the same old thing every year, but Larry’s music is wonderful. It put me in a spirit of graditude and happiness to share Christmas with my family this year. Thanks!! -

Thank you Larry and David! I set the album on repeat and listened to it continuously throughout the day with varying sets of family, and each time was more pleasurable than the one before. I must say that this is the first download from DivineCosmos that my family members have readily devoured without scoffing- at times I feel I am casting pearls before swine (figuratively) as I have tried to introduce the Law of One material to my family members with little results. Very frustrating. However, thsi one is a beauty! Larry, your guitar work is so damn good! Thanks again, and Feliz Navidad!!! -

It has been a pleasure to offer this CD for everyone to listen to and enjoy.
The 2008 Christmas season marks the largest number of people so far who have downloaded and listened to “Merry Larry Christmas”.
However, as of Jan 1st, 2008 it will no longer be offered as a free download. Instead, it will not be available again until Christmas 2009. At that time, it will offered for sale at standard CD prices from various retail music sites.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Jingle Jangle Christmas
When I was younger (many years ago and more than likely before many of you were even born) I used to dream of being able to play all of the musical parts that I heard in my head onto some kind of mechanism that would play them back as I heard them.

I used to dream about doing this while I lived at my parents house in Missouri.
Sitting in my bedroom, I would listen to the sounds in my head and imagine them being playing all together at once.
It was a dream that would not be realized until many years later when my friend Gary Powell installed a complete MIDI studio in his home and invited me to use it.
Gary let me use his MIDI studio to compose and arrange the sounds that I heard in my head starting in 1986. In fact, I recorded my very first complete MIDI CD at his studio and titled it “Family Portrait”. His generosity is something that I will always be grateful to him for. Words cannot express what that experience did for me and my musical growth.
Electric LarryLand circa 1998
Armed with this knowledge about the capabilities of MIDI and bursting with a desire to own my own MIDI studio, I purchased tons of my own MIDI gear for my use here at Electric LarryLand.
It didn’t take much for me to be inspired enough to write and record songs at my newly equipped MIDI capable studio. I wrote many many tunes during those days.
In 1999, I was inspired to write a Christmas song entitled “Jingle Jangle”. The tune was loosely based on a style similar to Mannheim Steamroller. However, it doesn’t really sound like them at all.
I’ll let you be the judge of what you think it sounds like.
Enjoy!
