Keith A. Stafford & Friends - "It's A Wonderful Time of Thanksgiving" - KAS Entertainment
In his own words: “I’ve just finished writing and producing a new holiday music single with a few of my old-school musicians, vocalists, and engineer friends. The inspiration for this song comes from my childhood and the way I was raised. I loved the start of the holiday season, especially the tradition of bringing out the best plates, crystalware, and silverware, along with the amazing smell of my mom’s cooking. As the countdown to Christmas and New Year’s Day began, it always felt like a wonderful time of Giving Thanks every day during that time. The special internal spirit of work associates, friendships, family gatherings, and the importance of helping those in need were always present. Writing this song took me on a nostalgic journey back to those heartfelt childhood days.”
Michael Dulin - “We Three Kings” - Equity Digital
In his own words: “We Three Kings has that perfect mix of mystery and groove. I wanted to take something ancient and timeless and make it shimmer in a modern, smooth-jazz setting. Christmas, to me, is about connection — with our past, our loved ones, and something larger than ourselves. If this track can light a candle in someone’s heart, then I’ve done my job. I’ve always loved We Three Kings for its beauty and mystery. It’s not just a carol – it’s a journey.”
