The Remotes Trio Wishes You a Merry Christmas!

CHRISTMAS SONGS

Scott, Bruce, Dave, and I have spent the past few months working up some Christmas tunes for a gig that didn’t quite happen. Rather than discarding all of this effort into the Dark Aether, 3 of us got together to upload five videos to YouTube. Unfortunately Dave couldn’t make it to our session but he supported us from afar.

Enjoy! Turn your sound up.

WHAT ABOUT SOME COOKIES?

What are the holidays without desserts? Just don’t step onto your scale between now and January 1. I’m sure it’s wrong.
