2012 Cigar Box Nation Christmas Album Submissions Page

Christmas 2012 will be here before you know it!

Shane Speal and Dan Sleep have organized the Christmas album in previous years, Dan asked me if I would like to help 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 and sung by our members.

The primary requirement is that the recording be of good quality, for example, If you are singing, we want to be able to hear your voice!

The 2009 Christmas album contained 23 songs, 2010 Christmas contained 40 songs, 2011 contained 18 songs. More songs is not necessarily better, but we really don't have a limit on the number of songs we can include.

There has been a tremendous response to CB Nation collab projects this year, let's top the year off with with a

CRACKER CHRISTMAS ALBUM!

The amazing Artwork for the album cover has again been generously donated by Thomas Boatwright ...!

You can submit a cover of a traditional ("non copyrighted") 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!

Members' names and songs will be published here on this header, completed MP3 files can be emailed to me at....

Download presentation page is currently being prepared, watch for further details!

IT'S READY!

Steve and Pick, Linda would like to do 'What Child Is This.' Is that okay with you ~ and will it conflict or not conflict with Pick's Meansleeves, which we are guessing is the same melody?

Steve just listen to my song and I do need to redo the vocal the third veres word are wrong level is low think I had headphone fatigue. Take a few days so don't do any work on the file I sent. Lazy means you'll do more work later.
