Holiday Collection by Tom Dyer and The True Olympians
I decided to make a one-disk release of all the True Olympians Xmas singles, add in a couple of my Christmas songs which we will be playing in Tacoma and finally some other jolly tracks released by band members in the last year or so. True Olympians Joe and Lisa even decided to cut a brand-new track this week just for this album.
So much joy! When I first had the idea, I was just thinking download and streaming. At 9:30am today, Brother Joe convinced me to make CDs. To make this even more improbable, drummer Michael had the ridiculous idea to go jolly shoot photos at the JC Penny photo studio – we did it this week. Suddenly, I had a home for this plethora of pictures. CD art! Let the partridge and the pipers rejoice!
And yes, you read right, Lisa Ceazan has joined the band on vocals. In addition to harmonies, she is doing the kickin’ lead on “People of The Water” and other to be named trax. Someone is gonna ask, is she from here? The answer is heck no – she moved here. As I have stated before, being a True Olympian is not about where you went to high school, it is about the purity of your heart and mind!
So there it is. The miracle of Christmas, writ small!
