Merry Christmas, Darling

At Christmas time, I am always reminded of the time I made a music video with Karen Carpenter.  She was so good to work with!  I’ll always have such great memories with her!  Ha ha! 

Actually, with this song, I have just always loved Karen Carpenter’s smooth voice.  It is so clear and pure, and easy to listen to.  I always wanted to sing a duet with her.  So, I wrote the harmony part to this song, and made a recording along with her original track and laid them together.  I thought it turned out nicely!

Then, I thought it would be fun to mix a video to it as well.  So I found the original video and merged some other scenes with myself as well.  It actually works out nicely since the song is about longing to be with the other person at Christmas, but having to remain far apart.  It was a lot of fun to put together!  What a talented singer Karen Carpenter was!
