Hi Jason,
I couldn’t find an email address for you so I’m sending this as a post.
I am the webmaster for the MySpace Starland Vocal Band page. I am seeking your permission to post the "Happy Holidays From Starland Vocal Band" article explaining the ‘Christmas At Home’ album. I’d like to have it as a blog. During the holidays, I’m planning to have the Christmas music available to listen to and add to people’s pages but NOT downloadable. Thank you for your consideration.

I can’t hate SVB because they’re proud locals –http://www.clydes.com/main/Whats_Happening_Pop.cfm?Section=History_GeorgetownWe were once eating at Clyde’s near Christmas, and they had carolers walking around. I could’ve sworn one of them was one of the Vocal Bandits. My mother-in-law actually ran up and asked, and alas, I was mistaken.

Dear Starland Vocal Band member, Thank you for filling us in. To think that the album was a final production and for-release was a little…weird. It’s good to know the back story. That it was a charitable effort is very cool. Thanks also for not being too mad at us (speaking for myself, but you know what I mean). We love that goofy mellow era you hail from, and your music was entertaining. Jason talked about what those albums meant to him and his family, and all of us in the 30something age group have similar stories. Myself? I remember asking my mom to explain "Afternoon Delight" to me, and having her change the subject and get all red faced. Good times. Merry Christmas!

Okay, so which parent is selling out their kid by putting it on eBay? Fess up!Hey, that’s sort of how the Langley Schools Music Project CD originated - someone found an original LP in a thrift store, but no one besides the kids, their parents and maybe a few school administrators ever got one. It’s hard to imagine what kind of parent (or alumnus) would give such a thing away to Goodwill, but I guess I’m glad they did.
