Happy Thanksgiving and Eclipse is proud to announce the release of "Happy Holidays, St. Augustine, 2010"

Musicians Unite To Benefit The St. Augustine Record’s Empty Stocking Fund

Eclipse Recording Company will release its ninth annual holiday CD, “Happy Holidays, St. Augustine, 2010” on November 26th to benefit The St. Augustine Record’s “Empty Stocking Fund”. This year’s release will be a specially priced double disc set.

The CD features a variety of local and nationally known musicians and is the brainchild of Eclipse founder, Jim Stafford, who opened the doors of his recording studio ten years ago. In the fall of 2002, Jim decided he wanted to give back to the community and came up with the idea of creating a holiday music CD to benefit St. Johns County families in need. This year again, 100% of the net proceeds Eclipse receives will be donated to the St. Augustine Record’s “Empty Stocking Fund”.

In what promises to be the best holiday release yet, 33 individual musical acts have donated their time and talent. This year’s collection will feature 18 original songs and 16 holiday favorites. It will include two songs by Jay Ungar & Molly Mason, “Lights of Chanukah” and “Snowstorm”. Jay composed “Ashokan Farewell” which was used as the theme by filmmaker Ken Burns in his critically acclaimed PBS documentary “The Civil War”.
