Santa Claus is Coming to Town - 2010 Holiday Download
In 2008, I gathered a group of friends to celebrate the holidays and record a song to help some folks out in need. What transpired out of that original session was magical and The Plastik Santas was born. There was a sincere spirit of comraderie and collaboration that developed and continues to build each year. Our plan is simple: we gather on an afternoon, record a traditional holiday song and and make it available for folks to download and in turn, support a local charity.
This year, with a little help from technology and whole lot of commitment from those involved, we were able to rally and complete our take on the classic track,"Santa Claus is Coming to Town".
This year's cast includes:
Rich Adams - Guitar, Organ, Bells
Kristen Angood - Lead Vocals
Dave Coniglio - Harmonica
Dan d'Elia - Drums
Debra Devi - Lead Guitar
George Dobbs - Piano, Keyboards
Patrick Harmon - Backing Vocals
Eric Pseja - Bass
Special thanks to:
Debbie Rizzi-Adams for hosting and feeding us during the session
Arnie Casamenti for photographing the session

All proceeds this year will benefit the American Diabetes Association. Their Stop Diabetes Movement continues to raise awareness and research funding for a disease that will affect 1 in 3 Americans in their lifetime.

For those of you that know me personally, this is a cause that is close to my heart. In 1999, Diabetes claimed the life of my mother, Christine at the age of 51. This year, I'd like our efforts to support an organization that is committed to finding a cure for this disease. I thank each of you in advance for helping us do our small part to support Diabetes research.
