about

Christmas is a very special holiday for the Dohlie family, and also the Quilt Records family. Naturally, Ol’ Garth would want to commemorate the holiday with his own take on Christmas. His dazzling and heartwarming tales of Christmas past are sure to make the listener nostalgic for their own family traditions and memories of a bygone era. In the busy hustle-and-bustle of 1968, time stands still in Garth Dohlie’s world. We can always count on his serene love of the Dohlie family and way of life.

For this recording, the usual stable of Quilt’s A-team musicians was absent due to many fearing for their lives as many of those that have recorded with Garth in the past have not returned from Norcatur, Kansas. Many people have either gone missing or found drained of blood and partially eaten. We reached out to Mr. Dohlie for suggestions. He brought in the Hackinshaw twins, Lloyd and Boyd, to lend their vocal stylings to a couple of songs. But the real ringer was Miss Trinity Plortsmouth, who played the organ at the Norcatur Methodist Church every Sunday. Featured on a pair of traditional Christmas songs, she also painstakingly wrote and performed all the rest of the music for this album. Sadly, Miss Plortsmouth and the Hackinshaw twins were all discovered, like so many other previous musicians, drifters, and townsfolk of Norcatur before them – drained of blood and partially devoured.

So, sit back, relax, take in a glass or two of Mr. Dohlie’s Christmas wassail (the recipe is contained on a track of this album), and enjoy Gath Dohlie's Christmas Party!

President of Quilt Records
