Oh, and I FINISHED REVAMPING ERICGINSBERG.COM TODAY!!!! It’s taken MONTHS of work and, in fairness, months of procrastination, but it’s finally done. The final step: there are now over 20 songs available in the Demos section, under the Music tab. There are lyrics, videos, and free downloads!!

Enjoy!

This time, in addition to playing our own songs, we’re also doing 2 covers together to bookend the night (you’ll have to come to find out which ones) AND we’ll each play one song by one of each other. I’ll be playing my redition of my favorite Alex Biese song.

Last time was damn near sold out, so try to get there at 7:30 to get a seat at this uber-intimate Asbury Park venue (708 Cookmam Ave). Want to confirm your seat? Want to save some dough? Get your ticket now at TheShowRoomAP.com

I’ve yet to decide on two songs in my set list. What song have you always wanted to know the story behind? Drop a comment and maybe I’ll play it (and even if I can’t fit it in my set, I’ll comment back with an anecdote to satiate your curiosity).

David Bowie & Bing Crosby came on the radio yesterday morning. They talked a bit, then sang “Little Drummer Boy”. They sang in unison until, over Bing’s “Ba-rum-pa-pum-pum,” Bowie sang, “Peace on Earth…” and I was inspired to write this song. I started scribling at the red light and now, a day later, I present my holiday gift to you:

Why’s it Have to be Christmas Time (To Wish for Peace on Earth)

Hear the song

Read the lyrics AND chords

Download for free

Buy it for $.99

UPDATE: I touched the song up a bit and uploaded the newer version in place of the older one.

Also, I’ve installed Google Checkout so you can just enter your credit card information, safely and securely, without having to open a PayPal account (which is great).

Finally, I’ve made purchasing digital downloads SO much easier with a feature currently only available through the Store. When I work on the music page, I’ll implement this feature across the board. For now though, the individual songs are still available for download on the music page via payloadz (a neat and functional service, but one that I’ve outgrown and that charges me more than this new thingy).

So enjoy!

More on the horizon!
