Will Stafford and Tim Karplus have collaborated on Will’s music since the holiday season of 2014. Window Business is their product. Will writes the songs. Tim plays a host of instruments and engineering roles.

Before the moniker from 2014-2017, Chris Koroshetz played drums. His tracks are on 8 Ball Sessions, the self-titled album, as well as a couple songs on later releases including Here’s My Card and Holidays Are Hard. Since 2018 Mark Powers has played drums.

Beyond those gentlemen, there are scores of accompanists who play dozens of instruments to frame Window Business's multifarious approach. They are named in the site credits.

Age Patterson designed and hosts the website window.business and maintains their music on other sites as well. Window Business has offices in Portland and Spokane.

Merry Christmas. Should they please you, I hope these carols find their way into your holidays for years to come. I hope they lift some of the heaviness you may feel around the season with their good humour and sincere meditations. I hope they convey, whether it is for human or spiritual connection, you are not alone. I hope you get the Christmas that you need.

for love,

Will Stafford

I wrote these songs to be what our last volume of carols was not. Songs for children, lovers, dreamers and believers. I stand behind the statement "Holidays are hard!", but that's not all they are. This is an offering to fruits of the season.

from a different place,

Will Stafford
