about

There are exactly two instrumentals in my back catalog and "Open Fire on a Roasting Chestnut" is one of them. ("Theme from the vonHummer Hour" is the other one, not counting all the stings and such I did for "Bübiwulf!" of course.)

I remember almost nothing about writing and recording this one, so I must have really been in "The Zone" at the time. I recall doping out the Xmas tunes in each part: "O Little Town of Bethlehem," "Go Tell It on the Mountain," "Away in a Manger, and Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" from his 9th. Of those, "O Little" gave me the most trouble. Don't know why. Wider range of notes, I suppose.
