This newsletter's questions were answered by Ron McNeil.
Q: When is the new Christmas album going to be released? What’s new on it?
A: We were sooo close this year! But, we had to stop recording to get ready for the PBS shoot. There's just so much going on this year. We're so sorry. The new tracks are GREAT! I can tell you the Christmas songs, but I can't tell you the Beatles songs that they correspond with.
-Sleigh Ride
-The First Noel
-Deck The Halls
-Run Run Rudolph
and a few more.
Q: Is Volume 2 of the Live CDs going to come out soon?
A: Live Vol 2 is still in the can. We will get to it, just not sure when. There is gonna be a Live CD of the PBS special that will be available from PBS when the special airs.
Q: Does the Fab Four do anything special amongst the cast members for Christmas?
A: One year we all got mp3 players pre-loaded with every Beatles track including a lot of rare stuff. Santa was WAY cool that year. We usually spend Christmas with our families.
Q: When will the PBS special air?
A: They're not sure, because it'll take some editing time. But they're thinking Summer, or so? Obviously, we'll let everyone know when we know.
Q: Are any of the Christmas songs ever performed live?
A: We performed Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer last year in San Antonio. We've also done Hide Your Love Away In A Manger on Breakfast With The Beatles. We sound checked Joy To The World as well.
Q: For Ron, what is your favorite Christmas song to listen to, and what is your favorite one to perform?
A: My favorite Fab Four Christmas song to listen to is Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. Great vocal from Ardy.
Q: Will there ever be any solo Beatles Christmas songs on a Fab Four CD, such as “Happy Christmas (War Is Over)” or “Wonderful Christmas Time”?
A: We've talked about those, but we haven't yet come up with arrangements for them. Key word being "yet."
