“Tidings of comfort and joy… it is perhaps this phrase that best celebrates the festive season.  Comfort & joy have always been a part of Art Stoyles life and being.  He is not a complicated man, rather he is all heart, a warm soul and a generous personality.  Through decades of playing he has evolved an accordion style like no other… a European feel though deeply rooted in the far east of the western world.  Newfoundland is Art’s home and there’s probably no better place in the world to spend Christmas than on the craggy shores of this island in the North Atlantic.  Peace.  Goodwill to you and yours.  I hope you enjoy this music and much as we enjoy Art.”

– Ray Penton Jr. (Liner Notes)

Wayne Morgan sings some Christmas classics by Wince Coles, Jim Brickman and Trevor Wagler as well as some traditional tunes and songs he composed himself.

Another classic Christmas album with a compilation of great local artists.

The second volume of a classic local Christmas compilation CD.

“Christmas means many different things to many different people.  In Newfoundland and Labrador, it’s mostly about family and fun, which are all touched on in this recording.  The lighter side of the season is reflected with songs like ‘Santa’s a Bayman Like Us’ and ‘Rusty Chevrolet’ which reminds us of our good friend Gabby.”
