about

The story of the name of this track is amusing. I was working at a high tech company back in 1995 and every Christmas they had a "giving tree" in the lobby. It was a Christmas tree with labels on it that local charities put to let us know what local needy people would like for Christmas but couldn't afford. One day I was looking through the labels deciding which one I would take and buy a present for when I ran across a label that simply said, "Mary wants a cordless drill". I couldn't have made up a better song title if I'd tried.

The band has released 42 albums since 1987. ... more
