Jason received his first keyboard in October of 1986 for his birthday. He immediately began recording his own music using a microphone plugged into his home stereo.
The first collection of songs he recorded was given as a Christmas present to his aunt. The tape was called Merry Christmas to Me and was recorded in one afternoon.
There are only three copies of this tape known to exist. The first is the original master tape he recorded the songs on. The second tape is the copy he gave to his aunt. And the third tape was a compilation of this album and an album he recorded in 1987, Songs to Enjoy, putting both albums on one tape for easier listening.
There are no vocals on the tape, it is just instrumental Christmas songs. The last track is the only original song on the album. There are no plans on releasing this album, but the songs have been transferred to the computer so they will now live forever in the digital domain.
