Twenty years ago today! My recording of Silent Night was made on a 4 track cassette tape recorder and started on December 3rd, 1992. Making a good dijitization of it has been a big struggle. Hope this mix is getting closer!

Elisha Zaporelostzi's first performances were the Open Stages put on by the Bytown Live in Ottawa Ontario, Canada. It is how Neil Young and Joni Mitchell started. Phreap magazine is a one page thing that went around Ottawa in the 1980s. Now it is a web site; http://home.att.ne.jp/blue/patchan With the help of Joe-Charly Smith, Molly Ding, Calhoon-Fred Febealie, and Butter Jones I was able to put out Phreap magazine.

Story behind the song
On this Take 1; I played the music 4 times; I started with a guide strumming guitar track on track 1 On track 2, I played harmonica throughout all 4 times stanzas but the first time I played lousy and I missed a bar at the start of the 4th time so I can chop [it] off. This Mp3 here is spliced so that it is me playing harmonica and guitar the 2nd & 3rd time. It has been a lot of trouble digitizing this recording This is a mix with 2 more voices. Tom Freebusker visited and did a vocal track. I finished the recording around July 29, 1993 when Juliette did another vocal to make it a duet. There were 2 Takes done. This was all done in London, Ontario, Canada.
Lyrics
Silent Night Franz Xaver Gruber, 1818 Words: John Freeman Young, 1863 Silent night, holy night All is calm all is bright 'Round yon virgin Mother and Child Holy infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight. Glories stream from heaven afar, Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia; Christ the Savior is born Christ the Savior is born Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love's pure light. Radiant beams from Thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
