Dennis Hensley's 1999 CD "The Water's Fine" gave us "Doesn't Seem Like Christmas." And he's also the author of a Very funny book (left). He was interviewed in September about the book on KPFT by Jone Devlon & myself. Hear that interview (15 minutes) by clicking on the book.
Pretty memorable pic, huh? That's Dina Martina. And I bet Bilito (below) of the queercore group Best Revenge, is also memorable.

That's Jimmy James above, doing Bette Davis. He does her (and other divas) singing for xmas on her new CD, "Have Yourself a Merry Jimmy James Christmas." You've got to hear it to believe it!

Recognize him? That's RuPaul! Well, below is his classic queer xmas CD, and below that his 1994 book.
Ru's sung with Martha Wash of the Weather Girls (right), and they helped just a little on Show #1. In the pic Martha (left) is with Izora Armstead. Their hit "Dear Santa, Bring Me a Man This Christmas" was written by gay disco producer Paul Jabara and the ever strange Paul Shaffer, of the David Lettermen Show
Above, Happy Charles brings us his new xmas dance single, "Sittin' On Santa's Lap," and his full-length CD "The Christmas Dream." Check out the lyrics for "Santa's Lap" by clicking HERE.

Spotlight
on Richard Foltz "A Songwriter's Christmas"
|
|
In
Memory of Richard Foltz - 5/28/42 - 1/25/14

In
1996 Richard Foltz assembled 15 of the most talented members of the
organization Outmusic
to put together an album of Christmas songs that he'd written over the
years. Three producers were chosen: Tom McCormack, Dan Martin, and Zenobia.
Together they weaved magic into an album that's become one of my top
favorite Christmas albums. The artists in the group photo are: (top
row) Bob Stern, Elliot Pilshaw, Janiece Thompson, Andy Monroe, Grant
King, Dan Martin, Richard Foltz, David Clement, and (bottom row) Joshua
Koffman, John Whitley, Melinda, Zenobia, Steve Cohen, Tom McCormack,
Laura Wetzler, and Patrick Arena. Below are photos of the artists heard
on my two xmas shows this year, and some of their recordings.
