Chip Davis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis F. "Chip" Davis, Jr. (born November 15, 1947 in Sylvania, Ohio) is the founder and leader of the "18th century classical rock" group Mannheim Steamroller.
He also wrote the music for C.W. McCall, including the mid-1970s hit Convoy.
[edit] Songs
Chip Davis wrote three songs for his band. Christmas Lullaby was written when he told his son Santa would fly over their house, and at exactly the right time, by coincidence, a jet flew overhead. Traditions of Christmas was written (according to the liner notes from "A Fresh Aire Christmas"(1988)) at the request of just one fan (selections from this and all Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums since have been chosen by the fans). Celebration was written for the band's 20th Anniversary.
[edit] Quotes
Chip Davis begins each concert with the quote, "Hi, I'm Chip Davis and we're Mannheim Steamroller."
