¶There was no mistaking that velvety rich voice singing, “Riu Riu Chiu” when I entered the Brewster Hill Deli yesterday to get a sandwich. The store was crowded and I almost couldn’t hold back. I wanted to shout:
“EXCUSE ME!
DO YOU KNOW WHO IS SINGING THIS SONG?”
But that’s what I would have done about two years ago, when I couldn’t contain myself and had to talk about David to everyone I met. This time I played dumb.
Me: Is this the radio or piped in music?
Deli worker: No, it’s my boss’ cd. Can I help you?
(completely forgetting where I was, why I was there, my name…)
Me: Do you know who is singing this song?
Deli worker: No. What can I get you?
Me: Oh! #8, the Balboa sandwich, mustard on the side. Please.
She was just doing her job but her attitude bothered me. She almost didn’t get the ‘please.’ As I waited for my lunch, strains of David singing “Ave Maria” filled the entire store…
Me: This is David Archuleta. Do you know him?
Deli worker: (handing me my lunch) The kid from American Idol? I didn’t know he sang Christmas songs.
(duh)
Me: (shameless promotion) He sings Christmas songs and a whole lot more. He put out a Christmas album last year. That’s what your boss is playing. He has a new pop album out now called “The Other Side Of Down”….blah blah blah….” 😀
Last year I gifted several copies of Christmas From The Heart to local stores in my neighborhood including United Parcel Service, a manicure shop, a dentist’s office, a small clothing shop and two sandwich shops, including The Brewster Hill Deli. You can imagine how delighted I was to hear David’s voice when I came into the store.
Gifting CFTH has it’s advantages. It spreads David’s music, it boosts sales, and it also makes you feel good. It’s time to start gifting again. Most places will gladly welcome a cd donation, unless they only play pre-packaged music. But you can also donate the cd to libraries, schools, hospitals and other institutions in your area.
David sings Christmas like nobody else.
