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!

Well, today while recording I discovered that the key of C for O holy night is just a hair too high for me after listening to the play back and realizing I am a little flat in the high notes. Transposing to the key of G and re recording.

Hey Steve,

I recorded a strange Chrismas Song...i just sent it !... (HE'S) COMING BACK AGAIN FOR CHRISTMAS

( the 2nd song)... Really improvising in using lyrics with fun... if needed i can mix tracks differently and change settings (level, tone...) at home i used only one sound system and one headphone......°<[:-))))))[---]==={...

Like you said "however i want to do it", but i ve to say i'm learning very well discovering to sing is finally possible for me (i've to work a lot), adding and mixing my voice tracks......°<[:-))))))[---]==={...
