MUSIC
This urban blues take on the classic "Merry Christmas Baby" gets the Gary Hines (music director of Sounds of Blackness) treatment. From the soundtrack of the Sounds of Blackness' stage production Night Before Christmas - A Musical Fantasy. My duet partner is the talented Core' Cotton.
This is a lively island-flavored tune, also from the soundtrack of Night Before Christmas - A Musical Fantasy. I get to sing lead and do a little dancehall toasting too!
