Christmas 2015
will be here before we know it !
For any of the new folks here on the Nation, we have compiled an annual album of songs played, composed and sung by our members for the last several years with some great songs!
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!, 2013 we had 39 songs, last year in 2014 35 songs for the album came in though we really don't have a limit on the number of songs we can include.
There has been a tremendous response to CB Nation Christmas album submissions in previous years, let's top this year off with with a
CRACKER CHRISTMAS ALBUM!
You can submit a cover of a traditional non copyrighted song, or ideally you can do something you composed yourself played on your cigar box guitar.
Traditional Christmas carols over 100 years old are ok but due to copyright infringment newer songs like White Christmas, Lonely This Christmas and Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree are OUT i'm afraid! As the results will be openly advertised, publicised and shared we don't want mean old copyright lawyers knocking on the door on Christmas eve, do we?
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!

Thanks Steve!
I've got the lyrics written for 'Still waiting under the mistletoe.' As soon as I get the song recorded i'll send it your way. Looking forward to sharing my first every original Christmas song.

Ya, I know. But not knowing how to tag MP3s can make me a real pain in the , well, rat. : )

I'm not sure but I think the tagging thing means: make sure you include all that info in the name of your mp3... or at least that's what I did. (I hope this helps)

I thought even though it laps over another holiday to get these in earlier next year so we could post videos early DEC of the folks playing them. This way we don't get any spoilers by posting vids after the MP3 loads are up? What do you think? Just a thought.
-
-
well, i don't really object to video spoilers myself as i think it gives the project some good publicity :-)
