In a rather unfortunate turn of events however, we parted ways shortly afterwards leaving me with recorded material some of which was of very high artistic quality.

I am currently negotiating a way that the rest of the proceeds which the artist usually receives over the website will also be donated completely to the cause. If not, I will personally donate any proceeds myself. All you have to do is click on the link that will be released this Saturday 17th December 2011, register on the website and download the song.

It would have been the first official inclusion of a song on my album that wasn't written by myself.

Dear friends,

In the spring of 2010, me and my band were in the studio recording material for a new album. In a rather unfortunate turn of events however, we parted ways shortly afterwards leaving me with recorded material some of which was of very high artistic quality. Since the this entire effort was a collective one by musicians none of whom were working with immediate financial interests in mind, we all mutually agreed to put it up for a free download. Albeit one which does generate income for charity.

This is our effort to spread a little Christmas spirit.

Income will be generated by every free download made online and forwarded to Feed The Children Inc.

I am currently negotiating a way that the rest of the proceeds which the artist usually receives over the website will also be donated completely to the cause. If not, I will personally donate any proceeds myself.

All you have to do is click on the link that will be released this Saturday 17th December 2011, register on the website and download the song.

It a few minutes of your time, costs you nothing and could help others if there are substantial downloads.

Your support in the endeavour will be deeply appreciated.

Merry Christmas.

The Song:

'Farewell' is written by my long-time friend Mumbai-NewYork-based journalist and musician Sumit Bhattacharya a.k.a. Summit Attempt. It would have been the first official inclusion of a song on my album that wasn't written by myself. While not necessarily revolving around a traditional Christmas theme, it's general storyline of a young boys efforts and hopes in finding his way back home in the cold is one which that should find some resonance in most of us during this time of the year.

I'm playing my last gig in Germany this year next Monday. I thought I'd set a record this year by not catching a cold all throughout, but December beat me after all. It's been a week since I've been sick so I'm hoping my lungs, voice and the anatomy they are attached to will be in form again by the time I'm on stage. I fly to India a day later and will be performing some gigs there as well. I have two dates confirmed as of now. Please check my calendar for details. I think I've written enough material for the EP I hope to release late 2011. So planning out the production is high on the priority list next year. I've finally got myself the Ableton Live 8 suite and hope to be productive while on the road as well. Enjoy Christmas, stay safe and hope we meet soon. Namaste.
