Unwrapping the CD...

This fun CD will kick start your season and get you in the Christmas spirit for sure.  It opens with three originals songs, "presented with panache, substance, and personality."  The holiday package is stuffed with 22 songs in all, perfect, for the whole family to enjoy.  It also features four bonus tracks from Greg's new children's DVD,  "Butterscotch's Playground."

The CD was arranged and produced by Chicago-based Alec Miller, who harnessed Greg's passion for both old and new renditions of Christmas songs.  "The resulting collection enfolds children and adults alike in the warmth of Yuletide music and the holiday spirit." 

Greg has always wanted to pay homage to the old-school style of musical arrangements.  The settings for many of the songs found their roots in orchestral arrangements made famous by Bing Crosby, Perry Como, and Dean Martin.

According to Greg...

"Those 'old-school' musical arrangements are really important for a child's development of both musical perspective and understanding,with harmony, rhythm, and tone colour being explored to their fullest. And for people of all ages, they're simply wonderful to listen to."

About Greg Page...

Greg has long been at the top end of children's entertainment and is respectfully regarded as one of the genre's leading performers.  He grew up in Northmead, a suburb of Sydney, Australia.  He was raised with a keen love of music and studied Early Childhood Education at Sydney's Macquarie University.  In 1991 he teamed up with fellow students Anthony Field and Murray Cook to form what would become one of the world's largest children's brands, The Wiggles. In 2006 he retired from the group due to a condition known as orthostatic intolerance, a form of dysautonomia.  Now doing well Greg is moving forward and has established The Greg Page Foundation to raise awareness and funds for research into orthostatic intolerance.
