For 2024 we've recorded "Mele Kalikimaka". Woody did the lead singing, ukulele,
slide guitar, glockenspiel, the recording and mixing; Dad played the bass.
"Mele Kalikimaka" is Hawaiian-themed Christmas song written in 1949 by R. Alex
Anderson. The song takes its title from the Hawaiian transliteration of "Merry Christmas".
The earliest recording of this song was by Bing Crosby & the Andrews Sisters in 1950 on
Decca, with Vic Schoen and His Orchestra, on September 7, 1950. It has been covered
by many artists and used in several films including L.A. Confidential, Catch Me If You
Can, and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
Please enjoy, and we wish everyone a Happy and Prosperous Holiday Season!
