Christmas Time 2007



Here's one of my all time favorite Christmas tunes from one of my talented buds Hector Saldana. It's an updated version of the original 1980 release. Krayola front man Hector Saldana wrote "Christmas Time" back in 1979 for his baby son's first Christmas. The Krayloas recorded "Christmas Time" at Charlie Bickley Studio in Houston, Texas in 1980, and it was rushed out as 45 r.p.m. vinyl single after John Lennon was murdered that December as a tribute to the band's favorite Beatle.

You can also check out the original "Christmas Time" music video that debuted nationally on ABC-TV's "America Rocks" in 1982 over at The Krayloas website.

Enjoy and Merry Kringle!

The Krayolas Little Fox Video



The Krayolas "Little Fox" music video pays homage to an obscure 1965 black and white promotional music film of The Who singing "The Kids Are Alright" at Hyde Park in London.

The Krayolas used Woodlawn Lake on San Antonio's West Side as the backdrop for their campy, early morning shoot on Sunday, November 4, 2007. Grammy-winning legend Augie Meyers wrote "Little Fox" in 1967 for his group the Sir Douglas Quintet. That's Meyers' signature syncopated combo organ on The Krayolas track. Hilda Guerrero — mother of lead singer Hector Saldana and drummer David Saldana — wrote the Spanish lyrics for the bilingual party hit.
