This rendition of Silent Night is a tribute to John Lennon to mark the anniversary of his murder December 8, 1980. It is a reimagining of how John Lennon might have sung this holiday favorite as a lullaby to his son Sean on that fateful night. A peaceful family moment when all was right.
The clip is a re-edited version of the opening of Life, Liberty and Lennon, a short film by Steve Power-Fardy.
The Fab Four the Ultimate Tribute performed the song with Ron Mendonca providing his uncanny John Lennonesque interpretation of this classic on guitar. Ryan Sandoval, the son of the groups drummer provided the voice of Sean Lennon. The great Ted Springman did the recording, scoring, arranging, orchestration and played all the other instruments, operated the equipment and ran the devices.
The photo of John Lennon at the base of the Statue of Liberty is the iconic shot by Bob Gruen. Copyright Bob Gruen and all rights reserved.
I added some annoying text in a crawl and some beep tones just to be distracting enough to discourage downloads. If you would like a clean copy please drop me a note steveonline2006@gmail.com and we can work something out. I would like to give some money back to the performers, who really went above and beyond on this little film.
