Melissa Axel Listening to Mr. Modern Tuba play/sing intervals on ye olde antique recording tuba ... very amusing!
Melissa Axel Sleigh Ride In Bora Bora song lyrics = quite accurate: James Jacoby and I are, in fact, not putting up with Old Man Winter. James told him to go stand in the corner and don't come out until he's ready to behave. Ellen Yong shook her finger at him, too. Looks like the degrees will double tomorrow here in Denver, so this might be working ...

'50s throwback musical kitsch at its best, "Sleigh Ride In Bora Bora" is the best novelty holiday song since your grandma got run over by that reindeer!

The music-making connection might not be apparent on first glance, but much of the inspiration for the novelty holiday song James and I wrote together ("Sleigh Ride In Bora Bora") came from this trip—our honeymoon!

Melissa Axel Great chat with Manisha Shahane today about album presentation. Lyrics are often integral to the music ... Do you prefer to see them in the physical CD liner notes or visit the artist's website and read them online?
Melissa Axel So thankful to all of you for fanning these flames, fueling the fire of my music. You are the reason. xoxo
Melissa Axel Just about to fall asleep and ... routed out of bed to come type out new lyrics. Sigh, bittersweet muse, you keep this night owl burning. ;-)
