As you know, the holidays can get a little chilly, so I decided to put together this medley of music to "make things nice and hot!"

No, I'm not quoting Tina Turner.

I came up with the song "Don't Care What I Get for Christmas" while in a long and boring car trip to the suburbs of Chicago. I wanted to make a sexy Christmas song, so I immediately thought of "roasting chestnuts." The song medley begins with the The Pointer Sisters "I'm So Excited" then leads to Blondie's "Call Me" and to the infamous "Disco Medley" by the fabulous 70s Philadelphia power group, the Salsoul Family Orchestra.

I put together this tacky and loud medley with the help of my good friend Taylor E Ross, a fabulous local musician. Taylor used to perform with me in the live Feast of Fools show where he was known as Link Pinks. I always thought that Link Pinks was an odd sounding name. It means to create a bond of trust by linking another persons pinky finger with your own. Regardless of his name, don't you think he looks good in pink? The photo was taken by my good friend Jason Smith.
