These early memories of Christmas music, the warmth and the joy, can be heard in Dan's new single, "My Favorite Time of Year."

I am especially grateful to Leigh Haggerwood for such a beautiful composition and I am delighted that he is so pleased with my version of his great piece. I hope you enjoy the song and I wish you and your family all the best in this Christmas season." – Dan Ashley
