2011 Cigar Box Nation Christmas Album

 

I know it seems early, but Christmas will be here before you know it.

 

Shane had organized the Christmas albums in the past, but in his absence, CB Gitty asked me if I would like to 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, sung, or whatever, by our members. The primary requirement is that the recording be of fairly good quality. For example, If you are singing, we want to be able to hear your voice. You get my drift...

 

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

 

You can submit a cover of a traditional 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.

 

I will post more information later.

 

Thanks

 

Dan

    Dan, you are welcome to use my song as you choose.

  • Mike Bingham December 6, 2011 at 5:19pm

    Please use my submission and other CBN content as you see fit.

  • Dan Sleep December 6, 2011 at 8:39am

    I was thinking that some of us, me included, might like to burn some discs that contain both the songs and the videos, with the thought of giving them away as gifts or stocking stuffers.

    If any of the submitters DO NOT want their songs or videos distributed in such a manner, please post here and let us know.

    Thanks again to everyone who contributed to this year's album.

    The album has been released. If anyone has a video they want to post, post in the release thread.

    Thanks.

  • Dan Sleep December 5, 2011 at 7:21am

    Sure.

    I don't see any reason why not. Folks can just post their videos on the thread with the downloads on it.

    Is there a way to place the video's on the same page as the download zip file??

  • Dan Sleep December 4, 2011 at 4:43pm

    OK, folks. I am wrapping up the last few things and should have the zipped up album available for download some time in the next 24 hours.

    Please review the list at the top of this thread and make sure that I have your name spelled correctly. I am also using each artist's CBN page as the clickable link associated with their song/s. If you need any changes made, please let me know ASAP so I can get it corrected.

    Dan
