Christmas Memories - Live!

Christmas Memories is on the album "A Cigar Box Christmas 2011" which is available as a free download here: http://www.cigarboxnation.com/forum/topics/2011-cigar-box-nation-christmas-album-released
It felt right to do my Christmas song using this strummer as I got it as a present last Christmas : -)
The strummer was made by Jay from tinyguitars. Check out his website http://www.tinyguitars.tk/
I wanted to film this against a green screen and put myself somewhere exciting, but didn't have the time to set all that up..so you'll have to make do with a Christmas hat and some coloured lights swirling around my dining room!! Thought they looked a bit like Northern Lights???

Comment by Grease Stains on December 17, 2011 at 6:33am: great stuff!

Comment by bemuzic on December 17, 2011 at 6:08am: thanks HB..mmm not sure about the sleigh bells...trouble is they remind me of the tacky Christmas "music" played in shops at this time of year. I'm a bit of a grumpy old woman about Christmas music, and I surprised myself by doing the hat and lights,lol! Don't want to go too Michael Buble : -/

Comment by HOLLOWBELLY on December 17, 2011 at 5:59am: Stumblecols right about the sleigh bells-gotta have the sleigh bells.

It was charming (not a word I use frequently but it seems to best describe how I found it.

Lovely stuff.

Comment by bemuzic on December 17, 2011 at 4:49am: thanks a lot Keni, yeah the looper just feels like an extra instrument now, and a very useful one!

Happy Christmas to you too : -)

btw I was just playing along with the vid you put on Facebook, on harmonica..don't really know what I'm doing but trying to learn a bit as it goes so well with CBG's : -)

Comment by Keni Lee Burgess on December 17, 2011 at 4:39am: Although Belinda, it is a very good thing when your performances begin to look effortless and seem so right. You are definitely getting this looping down. Thanks for sharing. A very Happy Christmas to you too. Enjoy the Season.

Comment by bemuzic on December 17, 2011 at 4:10am: lol, NO IT DOESN'T!! I'll tell you what I did with this one and you'll see what I mean.

The first time I did this, I filmed it..think I got it without a mistake on the 2nd take. Looked at the camera and the battery had run out!! SO did it again..took several takes this time. Transferred it to the computer. Transfered the sound from my Tascam. Tweaked that up a bit in my music software, then added the vid and the sound to my video editing software, lined the sound up, added the lights, saved it. Well I was quite please with it....untill I realised I HAD FORGOTTEN THE TICK TOCK!!!...so I had to start again. No you can see why your comment made me laugh : -)
