My childhood memories of Christmas aren’t warm and fuzzy. The holidays were moreof a nuisance for my parents than cause for celebration. This is not to say that on behalfof their only child they didn’t give the season a halfhearted try. There were Christmaseswhen I found under the tree an electric football set, a Daisy pump air-rifle and a basketballgoal that never got nailed up. But, there were also morningswhen apples, oranges, hickory nuts and a hammer signified that year’s bounty.Which is to say that Christmas in our household was mostly a wait-and-see proposition.I was finally ready to record an album of original Christmas songs. With Dan Knoblerproducing and some very gifted musicians and vocalists lending their talents, the makingof the album Christmas Everywhere ranks as some of the most enjoyable recordingsessions I’ve ever experienced. The record was close to being finished when it occurredto me that to set the tone for the albums mostly irreverent subtext, I needed to composea lyrical prelude. In honor of Clement Moore, who wrote the poem we all know as,”The Night Before Christmas,” I came up with a short piece called”Clement’s Lament (We’ll See You in The Mall)”. Tania Hancheroff and Kim Keyesstopped by the studio and performed the tune with Jordan Lehning’sorchestral backing and the album was pronounced complete.
