  Thanks for putting this together Steve! Cool variety. Happy New Year!
Mike Crosno December 26, 2017 at 1:15pm

Thanks Steve

Listening now.. I should say I'm honored to be included with these guys, but frankly, I'm embarrassed. But isn't that the whole thing about CBG's, You play what shouldn't be played, and sing even when you cant. Who was it that said "They can say I cant sing, But nobody can say I didn't sing"

- Yeah this year's really outdid itself and quality and talent! Really enjoyed it and still enjoying it!
Rich December 26, 2017 at 11:15am

Thanks, Guys.

After listening to this year's songs I gotta say as always there are some interesting takes on Christmas that I have not heard anywhere else. It is one of the reasons I look forward to this CigarBoxNation Album every year.

To all of You and Yours - A Brave New Year.

I sat and listened to all of you and it was actually very nice and entertaining as well. A breath of fresh air to hear different and unique tunes vs the same old radio ga ga. Thank you all for putting in the effort again and making fun Christmas music. Thank for the kind support & positive comments. Playing on instruments we build is rewarding as well as creating our versions of a song and some original lyrics.
