2011 Cigar Box Nation Christmas Album
I know it seems early, but Christmas will be here before you know it.
Shane had organized the Christmas albums in the past, but in his absence, CB Gitty asked me if I would like to coordinate it for this year.
For any of the new folks here on the Nation, we have compiled a yearly album of songs played, composed, sung, or whatever, by our members. The primary requirement is that the recording be of fairly good quality. For example, If you are singing, we want to be able to hear your voice. You get my drift...
The 2009 Christmas album contained 23 songs, and the 2010 Christmas contained 40 songs. More songs is not necessarily better, but we really don't have a limit on the number of songs we can include.
You can submit a cover of a traditional song, or you can do something you wrote/composed yourself.
Please respond in this thread if you would like to participate, and include the song that you would like to have included in the album. Once we have the final album compiled, it will be posted as a free download, and anyone will be able to download it. So, you will be able to pass the links along to your friends and family.
I will post more information later.
Thanks
Dan

Guess we're supposed to upload these here? I'm hearing some very professional music attached to these last few comments so I hope this works for what you're doing...if not it's OK to leave it out--best I can do with my $9 computer mic into my ancient Realjukebox recorder and then into an old Nero 8 Wave Editor for some noise reduction and 'small room' reverb ...cheesy and yet reminiscent of those years of extreme poverty when, if I wanted an instrument like a harp, I had to make one for myself---one of the reasons why I love this place...
Sounds very good to me. Great sound Jim. A worthy inclusion on any Christmas Album.

Video removed per UJ's request.
Oops. Sorry folks. I was trying to post an mp3 file. I am a TDA (Techno Dumb Ass). Dan Sleep, feel free to remove the video. I intend to post it WITH THE VIDEOS closer to Christmas.
Well, you've blown your surprise element, so why don't you post it in the videos now and do ANOTHER one for Christmas. Can't have too many UJ videos. More more more.
By the way, it sounds fantastic. Both you and the guitar sounding really strong and I love the side lighting so it looks good too.

If anyone wishes to submit their song, and they want to keep it a surprise, they can email me their song and I will not make it public until the album is release.
For my address, just use my first name, and my web site, humidorguitars.com.
Thanks, Belinda, John Maw and Elwood. Posting the video was an error, but maybe it will work out.
I think it would be nice if a lot of the contributors would make videos and post them in the final 12 days of Christmas.
For me, it's too early before that. If I start too early, I am Christmased out by Christmas.
i worked in retail many years ago, i was always Christmassed out by November 1st !! )-:
nice idea about video UJ, will think about that...
