We chat with Gary about his first new Christmas song to be released since 2013. Gary has always loved classical composers like Tchaikovsky so he created a rockin’ version of the famous Sugar Plum Fairy from The Nutcracker. He played all the instruments on this song. The artwork for the single was created by Doug Long from Orange Blossom Junction in Visalia, CA. A man with many talents, Doug always created the best posters for his venue and this was one of them. Doug’s love for music was as big as his heart for people. It was an honor to play there over the years. He always treated musicians like family. This single is in his memory (RIP 1952-2018).
