So this is what's know about The Fractured Christmas Piano music.
About 25 years ago radio station WLAC in Nashville (now gone) used to play funny piano solo Christmas carols every year. It was somebody playing a piano and they would keep hitting wrong notes but just keep on playing - kind of like suffering through a kid's piano recital. WBAP AM in Dallas plays these songs semi - regularly every Christmas. Only drawback is that the DJ Mark Davis thinks people want to hear him giggle over them. Rarely he will shut up and play them uninterupted, but again this is AM radio, so not the best in sound.
The story behind it is that apparently the early morning DJ (Hal Jay) knew a piano player in Tennesse who was a local TV weatherman, kiddy show host and played with the Jordanaires with Elvis Presley. The guys name was Boyce Hawkins.
Boyce Hawkins
Country Gospel player who worked as a TV weatherman in Nashville
Played w/Oak Ridge Quartet (1949), Jordanaires (1952), Statesmen Quartet, Boots Randolph
There were only 5 songs made that known: White Christmas, Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
The music cannot be put up on the web due to copywrite issues, I think that Hal had a cassette tape of Boyce Hawkins playing on either a promotional LP released in the 70's or some charity/novelty record. The most likely search would be in the Tennesse area since that is where Hal Jay got this recording and it was said to be played alot.
