Members Potts Posted November 23, 2012 Members Share Posted November 23, 2012 Was it Voltan? I'm in need- I've got to prepare a little bit this year and I have no idea why I dont have any Christmas stuff on my PC or laptops. I remember someone posted one and it looked great, so if I could get a copy I'd be indebted! BTW I can share anything and everything if anyone ever needs some tunes. Thanks!

Members Bob Dey Posted November 24, 2012 Members Share Posted November 24, 2012 I'd take the chord changes with a grain of salt on some these songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bob Dey Posted November 25, 2012 Members Share Posted November 25, 2012 Originally Posted by pogo97 so would I -- where did you find problems? I see the second version of "Away in a Manger" is right on the money. The first version is off. I've seen a couple versions of "A Christmas Song", that are both different than this one. I haven't gone through all the songs, and I'm sure most of them are pretty close to being correct. It couldn't hurt to find sheet music to make comparisons to any songs that might not sound quite right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpaceNorman Posted November 25, 2012 Members Share Posted November 25, 2012 Funny that this post popped up! I saved a copy when Pogo first posted it - and pulled it out after dinner on Thanksgiving Day to start working up a few Christmas songs. Props to Pogo for sharing it - it's really a treasure trove holiday tunes!!!! Thanks!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it would...It's two weeks of playing these and if one cant adjust on the fly with some Christmas tunes there's a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not really doing a Christmas show, but better be ready with a few... Upbeat secular is better for bars than carols. Winter Wonderland, Jingle Bell Rock, White Christmas, Rudolph, Frosty etc. Have Silent Night & Little Drummer boy in case religious songs are wanted.

Members rodclement Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 We are doing: "Feliz Navidad" "I Saw Momma Kissing Santa" - Jhon Melelcamp version "Santa is Coming to Town" - Springsteen Version "Jingle Bell Rock" I do "Holy Night" acapella if asked (tipped) That's it, any more and it's via Pandora.

Members pogo97 Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 I really like "It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas." It's light and fast and witty, both lyrically and musically. I do it a fair bit faster than Bing does--makes the bridge a real adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Loner Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 I just pulled out Merle Haggard's "If We Make It Through December' again this year. I also wrote a song many years ago called 'Take Me Home For Christmas'. The lyrics are as suggestive as the name implies, but it's still kind of cute. I do it some, mostly upon request. People around here usually don't come to the bar to hear Christmas songs. That's too bad, cause I kind of like them. HO HO HO!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pogo97 Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 I just pulled out Merle Haggard's "If We Make It Through December' again this year... Great song. Never thought of it as a Christmas song even though "Daddy can't afford no Christmas cheer" is a hint. Maybe it's the mood. Maybe we can include more 'winter-themed' songs. Like "Nine Below Zero" or "Snow Blind Friend" or "Song for a Winters Night" or "Cold Cold Heart" or "The Frozen Logger." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
