HEY MARTY - Santa’s been watching you all year long, we don’t know what to tell you but... He knew when you were sleeping, he knew when you were awake He knew when you were bad or good and you were good for Hammers sake.. So you better watch out, you better not move You better listen up, 'cause we've made a song for you Merry Marty Christmas, all year long. We have a little present for you. So we all got together and decided to give you the ultimate gift, music. We wrote a little song about you, for you. It is a collection of verses from many of your fans quilted together. Hope you like it. The StoryTeller By Your Fans at mc.org Dear Marty, a gift from your fans at mc.org stay tuned, don't move, there's so much more we hope you enjoy it cuz it's from the heart just sit back and listen that will be your part
Embracing a life shared with the world he awakens thoughts to touch our soul we never knew this could exist where minds and souls share a common goal
He tells us stories of days gone by reach for the morning hope rises again reach for the morning our dreams take flight possibilities blind us as we reach new heights
(Chorus) He is the one to take us there to the place that we are longing to be look at us now, amazing somehow that we seem to be lost in his dream we like the song, and sing along with our arms raised up high as we scream we need him now, to show us how to find the answers that are lost in the Trees
(Bridge) It's magic, we say, what else could it be? A word, a look, a lyric, a smile we are touched, we're affected, and changed! his soul aglow, his eyes, his hand take it all in, understand if we can
Hey storyteller - we want to hear your song we want to come on your trip through music land he's in the show - look at him go! Don't blink your eyes or you may miss something good
Coming over to see him tonight so natural, like breathing 'cause he is like light he walks on stage in white pants our hero, our white knight
The Storyteller is so hypnotizing we surrender he takes control others may try but only you succeed 'Cause they don't know what I need
(chorus) He is the one to take us there to the place that we are longing to be look at us now, amazing somehow that we seem to be lost in his dream we like the song, and sing along our arms raised up high as we scream we need him now, to show us how to find the answers that are lost in the Trees Did I fail to mention? There’s more……You will need to go get your headset now. Ready?? Well, some other little elves got together and decided that a song is just not a song without, you know what. This is my favorite, favorite part, hope you think so too!!

WOW!!!
I listened to the track for the first time and I am amazed. All the time spent getting the lyrics together and putting it to a track and writing a melody and recording it. I am just blown away. This time of year is so busy and for all of you to come together and make this happen is beyond words. Thank you for this gift. It is the most unique gift I have ever received. I am gonna have to go back and listen again.
You are the best. This means the world to me. The perfect gift.
Have a great holiday everyone.
I am still in shock at all the effort and creativity that went into getting the gift together.
Marty

That turned out to be the most beautiful present fans could give Marty. Again ~ kudos to all involved - awesome collective vibes coming together under a ton of holiday/work time constraints. A true labor of love . Rock on, MC.org ...

Glad you liked it Marty! Now from my perspective, it's all your fault !!! But that's a good thing - at a time in my life when I had no musical direction to speak of I saw a singer from Chicago on a TV show. And watched more, and more, and more......and the guitar started coming out of the case again and getting played. Then getting to know more about Lovehammers and working on some of those songs........talk about inspiration! And you did that for me. So when I was approached about vocals and music for this, you can bet I jumped at the chance to repay in some small way what you did for me. So a gift that you gave to me without even knowing it I am pleased to return to you in collaboration with everyone here at mc.org who was involved. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!! Oh, there is more..........but then, that is a bonus surprise. For that, we'll see ya at New Years Eve where you can collect it. As a hint, I'll suggest that you watch for a red envelope........

I wanted to stop in and put up these photos for everyone before I head out of town for my sister's funeral. These are of Marty getting the "hard copies" of his Christmas gift--CD and lyric sheet. There is also one of him getting the Christmas cards from LH.com that were given to each band member. He was being very silly, doing poses with each item! He really loved the gift! He is still blown away by it all. With cards from LH.com: I thought you all would enjoy these. There's a wild story about actually getting the hard copies of the gifts to him, but HammeredHam will have to tell you that.
