WCBS NEWSRADIO 88 - Fred Fishkin Reporting

FISHKIN	He works in the Rockefeller Center offices of Chadbourne & Parke, a big international law firm. And what Larry Savell has given to co-workers and clients, is this:
SONG ON CD	All I Want For Christmas Is A Stomach Lining/And maybe just a little Visine . . . (Song playing in background)
FISHKIN	A CD with music he recorded in his bedroom with his guitar, keyboard, and computer. The cuts include "All I Want For Christmas Is A Stomach Lining" and "It's Still A Billable Christmas."
SAVELL	You know, lawyers take themselves very seriously, by and large, and I think if efforts like this and efforts that I'm sure other lawyers make during the year to show that, you know, we're people like everybody else, we have a sense of humor, we can poke fun at ourselves . . .
SONG ON CD	Hey, Mister Santa, pass the Mylanta . . .
FISHKIN	It could do wonders for the image of the profession. Savell spent about $3,000 on his holiday greetings. Fred Fishkin, NewsRadio 88.

FISHKIN	What lawyer Larry Savell has sent out are CD recordings, tongue-in-cheek songs he wrote and recorded like "It's Still A Billable Christmas" and "All I Want For Christmas Is A Stomach Lining."
SONG ON CD	Hey, Mister Santa, pass the Mylanta/Oh, will ya put a little Maalox under my tree . . . (Song playing in background)
FISHKIN	Savell, who works in the Rockefeller Center offices of the big international law firm Chadbourne & Parke, admits to being a frustrated Beach Boy. The duplication of the CDs and the jackets in all cost more than your typical box of cards.
SAVELL	The total cost of this whole thing is probably about three grand, which is the most expensive of any of these holiday efforts I've done.
FISHKIN	Lawyers, he says, sometimes take themselves too seriously. In the past, he's sent out things like computer disks with pictures of himself morphing into President Clinton and back. Fred Fishkin, NewsRadio 88.
