Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Tie a ribbon around my affectionLittle Glee Monster

Little Glee Monster – Tie a Ribbon on Tenderness / THE FIRST TAKE

Tie a ribbon around my affectionLittle Glee Monster

This is a song by the female vocal group Little Glee Monster themed around a love-filled Christmas.

It features a flowing, easy-to-listen-to melody characteristic of Christmas ballads, and if you can sing it all the way through, it should feel wonderfully satisfying! However, there are a few sections with challenging pitch jumps, so be sure to learn the melody well and pay close attention to each note as you sing.

Also, if you’re confident in your singing, try recreating the harmony parts with two or more people to showcase beautiful harmonies!
