"Legal Holidaze," New CD of Hilarious Original Lawyer Holiday Rock-and-Roll Songs, Released
LawTunes proudly announces the release of "Legal Holidaze," the new full-length album of hilarious original law-related holiday songs composed, performed, and produced by New York law firm litigation attorney Lawrence Savell.
With a jacket design parodying a traditional legal hornbook treatise, the CD contains ten rockin' holiday tunes taking on such subjects as lawyer marketing, continuing legal education, document review and production, expert witnesses, and bar exams."Legal Holidaze" includes "Rainmaker Reindeer" (The Lawyer Marketing Song), "Catchin' CLE" (The Continuing Legal Education Song), "Billin' On Christmas Eve," "North Pole Bar Exam," "A Million Christmas Trees" (The Document Production Song), "Surfin' For An Expert Late On Christmas Eve," "Santa And I Are Gonna Pull An All-Nighter On Christmas" (Live), "Bill Those Hours" (parody of "Jingle Bells") (Live) , "Billin' On Christmas Eve" (Live), and the title track, "Legal Holidaze."
The album is pure classic rock-and-roll, with driving rhythms and soaring harmonies reflecting the strong influence of the legendary Brian Wilson, The Beach Boys, and Jan & Dean -- and a touch of Elvis.Savell's musical take on the legal world started with performances at the University of Michigan Law School's "Law Revue" (alleged) talent show in the early 1980s.
It continued with solo and in-house band performances at summer and holiday functions at his prominent Manhattan law firm, where his poking good-natured fun at lawyers and the legal profession was well-received and encouraged.
Over the years he recorded many of these songs, producing vinyl records, cassette tapes, and then CDs which he gave each holiday season to family, friends, colleagues, clients, and people he met on airplanes.
Preparing a commercial release was the natural next step.Savell's unique albums are dedicated to the proposition that lawyers' zealous representation of clients and furtherance of the public good can be only enhanced by a healthy willingness of lawyers to poke fun at themselves appropriately on occasion.
They also hopefully contribute to the effort to make people think a little differently about lawyers, and show that attorneys are not necessarily humorless, boring, or incapable of self-deprecation (success on at least the last item is guaranteed).His philosophy also emphasizes that lawyers and other people really need to take the time to pursue their "after-hours" dreams, despite the increasing pressures, longer work days (and nights), and other factors that may make them think it is impossible -- and no matter how unrealistic or unlikely realizing those dreams may be.
Being able to enjoy or express ourselves or just blow off steam ends up making us happier, and thus better, at whatever we do that actually pays our bills."Legal Holidaze" and its predecessor, "The Lawyer's Holiday Humor Album" can be purchased direct at www.LawTunes.com, and selected other on-line and catalog vendors.
Clips of the songs can be heard at LawTunes.com as well.
The CDs are the perfect gifts for lawyers, law students, law professors, and the people who work with, live with, know and/or love them.
They're also a great choice for law firm, corporate legal department, or other office or law school holiday party giveaways and client or staff holiday gifts.
Special deals on large volume purchases and competitive reseller discount pricing are available upon request.In summation, LawTunes albums are an appealing treat all year round.
And they're perfectly legal!.

Never Pay Full Price for a Book!
Are you an avid reader? Are you trying to instill a love of reading in your children? My whole family loves to read! Right before bedtime every night, every one of us can be found with our nose in a book! It would be very easy for us to spend a fortune every month on books. But, since we don't have a fortune to spend every month, over the years I've found several ways to get good books and never pay full price! 1. Garage and yard sales are a prime source for both hardback and paperback books. There are people who will buy a book, read it once, and they're ready to get rid of it. I pick up lots of books at yard sales and never pay more than 50 cents each.
2. Used bookstores are another place to find good reading material. Store policies differ but most do something like sell the books at half the cover price. If you bring in books to trade, a store will usually give you credit for one-fourth of the original purchase price. I sometimes buy books at garage sales for 50 cents, read...

The Essential Christmas Web-Store Makeover
Toronto, Ontario, Canada (ContentDesk) November 17, 2004 -- Ten great tips to turn online holiday shoppers into eager buyers - and satisfied customers. Internet shoppers look for clues (consciously or not) that suggest you are credible and professional ? and they make that judgment call inside of a minute or two.
That means a online stores have a small window of time to impress would-be buyers and gain their trust.
Unlike in person, however (where you can apologize for tardiness or charm customers with funny tales about how that mustard landed on your lapel) web sites have zero opportunity to redeem themselves online.
One click and the customer is gone for good.
The problem is only getting worse according to a recent study by DoubleClick that found more online shoppers are abandoning their shopping carts this year than during the same period last year.As Web-goers gear up for their Christmas shopping sprees, there are things web-store owners can do...
