What is it about Christmas music and the undeniable gravitational pull it exerts on some songwriters? I for one have never been able to resist the urge to scribble a song that might outlive me with hopes of slipping it in among those overplayed and oh-so-tired holiday classics— syrupy and jingly as they may be, sleigh bells ringing into oblivion. The music that surrounds the end of every year is deeply associated with my earliest, most primal musical memories. A time of year with its own music. And every songwriter must admit it: overplayed or not, some of those tunes are magnificent and timeless as falling midnight snow.Blood Oranges In The Snow is the third Christmas record Karin and I have made, and I confess, I think I’m mostly just trying to get back to that early time in my life when the music was all brand new, something to be discovered. But then again, so many Christmas songs have already been written: I think we are genuinely curious about the ones that haven’t. Once upon a time we sent our first Christmas record to Byron House, an upright bass player who would join us for several of our December tours. Byron put it on the stereo during his family’s evening meal, and after several tracks his wife asked, “Do they like Christmas?” Karin says we have stumbled upon a new genre of music called “Reality Christmas.” When Karin and I make the annual holiday pilgrimage home to visit family,and pull into the drive, and turn off the car, one of us inevitably looks over at the other and says, “Tie a rope around my waist, I’m goin’ in.” We all have our foibles and somewhat compromised histories. And in spite of all the lights and festivities, our private struggles are oftenbrought into more stark relief during the “holiday season.” Maybe if we just tell the truth, it will give others freedom to do so. Peace like a river, love like an ocean, Linford Detweiler (with Karin nearby) July 31, 2014 - Nowhere Farm: Hillsboro, Ohio
