Christmas 2013 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 co-ordinate 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, we had

less in 2012 but all the submissions were amazing!,  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! 

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....

steventrowbridge@btinternet.com

Final submission date is

18th December

Submission pledges received will be posted here.....

I'm going to have a shot Franz Schubert's Ave Maria

All listed! (-:

Hullo.  Been lurking for some time.  Signed up so I can offer a song for this:

I'll do Blind Blake's Lonesome Christmas Blues, which I understand to be well out of copyright (dates to the 20s).

Can You only do One song?? It's just that I'd like to take a swing at writing my own song, but I'd also like to do 'O Come All Ye Faithful'..... i'd say with the time left, there's not much point in trying to seek permission from copyright owners.... maybe next year, eh? ;D

P.S. Currently there is a slight problem with my CBG, and I'm not 100% certain as to whether it would be fixed by the deadline... it's probably VERY obnoxious of me to ask, but if I can't get it fixed, is there anything in the rules against me using another guitar I made... I have it strung like a CBG, same tuning, and , because the body is mostly plywood,, it has a sound similar that of an actual CBG! I'd love to take part either way. If there's no limit on number of songs, and it's OK to use the other guitar (repairs dependant), then throw me down for 'Christmas Blues' (My own song)  & 'O Come all Ye Faithful'. If there's a limit, then I'll stick with 'O Come all Ye Faithful'-Instrumental... Thanks!!!

Yes Leon the more the merrier! (-:

about the guitar ok do what you can..

I ended up surprising myself and recording a last minute Christmas album over the past 2 days, so I'll send an MP3 of Feliz Navidad as soon as I have it mastered :)

you did a whole album in 2 days ?

amazing guy, ain't he...? they don't call Justin The Wizard  for nuthin' ! (-;

thanks Justin that would be great! will list it!  (-:

I will be doing an original song called

"Santa wont cha make me a CBG" by Johnny Stompbox and the Cigar Box Stompers

 

thanks John! (-:

is it to late to suggest a group song ,
