PERSONAL CREDITS
I want to thank Nesta Mitchel my producer for his special direction
And mixing skills, that he provided for this album. I appreciate all the work you have done and professionalism in getting this project off the ground. We had a good laugh and discussion in the studio too.
I would like to thank the Lord for His inspiration from the word of God for this album. This album is about Christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ. This album is special as some tracks talk about the aspect of giving and its true meaning and not so much on the focus of the commercial side to Christmas.
Jingle all the way (which this album is called) is about the story of a King coming into this world as a baby in a lowly stable who will ultimately change the world. The theme of this album is about Christmas and what it means to me. We want to celebrate Jesus birth at Christmas time rather than focus on pagan traditions like Santa Claus.
I hope you enjoy this album which features all original songs rather than traditional carols which arguably have been done to death on many albums recorded by others.
Andrew Mc Donald.
