I Believe in Father Christmas -- 2022 recording

[SciNote]

Hi everyone!  I'm a little late to the party this year.  It's amazing how time just flies as you get older.  One moment, it seems like there are several weeks to get this done, and then suddenly, it's just three days before Christmas.

I really didn't have time to learn anything new for Christmas this year, so for now, I just re-recorded one of my favorites and am posting it here.  It is "I Believe in Father Christmas", by Gregg Lake from Emerson, Lake, and Palmer (ELP).  I believe this song first came out in 1975, but I never heard it until 1981, and I have since felt it is one of the best Christmas songs I've ever heard.  Unfortunately, I have not heard it -- at least not the original version -- on the radio (either FM or SiriusXM) in at least a couple years.

This was done mostly on my PSR-E433, but I used my Roland Gaia SH-01 synth for the little Classical line that is played after each verse.  That is, until that line is played with the powerful brass and choir at the end of the song, and that part was done entirely on the E433.  The style was used solely for the drums.
