Members Tedster Posted October 6, 2005 Members Share Posted October 6, 2005 Crazy idea, and this might just be the place to pull it off. Christmas and Hanukkah are just around the corner. What would anyone say about putting together a comp CD of Holiday covers (or originals)...just for fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UstadKhanAli Posted October 6, 2005 Members Share Posted October 6, 2005 I can't promise anything because I am soooo bogged down with work, but I think it's a great idea. I'd love to do something like that Christmas song that the Chipmunks sing or something else that's utterly ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mick8569 Posted October 7, 2005 Members Share Posted October 7, 2005 only if its deeply religious, but from many different religions. so no matter what ur belief u get offended. its prejudice to only offend some religions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UstadKhanAli Posted October 7, 2005 Members Share Posted October 7, 2005 Yes, that's right. Why offend only a couple of religions when we can nail 'em all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thelonius Posted October 7, 2005 Members Share Posted October 7, 2005 Originally posted by UstadKhanAli when we can nail 'em I see you're getting a headstart. I'd love to do it. Although I have limited postage here. I love Christmas Carols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, keep in mind that I said "Christmas and Hanukkah" and Christmas songs can be secular as well. If there's a Buddhist, Hindu, whatever holiday, we can do something for that as well, when the time comes around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Billster Posted October 7, 2005 Members Share Posted October 7, 2005 You know I have some stuff in the can, so I can pitch in a tune or two. If it comes together, just tell me who is assembling the master and I'll make a clean spiffy .aiff or .wav copy and send it along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fuzzball Posted October 7, 2005 Members Share Posted October 7, 2005 I don't have anything right now and I am booked, but my wife has many Christmas songs recorded with a concert grand harp would that work. She is working on a Christmas CD of classical tunes all performed with just the Harp. next year she will have a harp CD with other accompanyment for Christmas. If you are intrested let me know.

Members Thelonius Posted October 7, 2005 Members Share Posted October 7, 2005 If I can participate I'm going to go ahead and get started! Since I'm still learning the ropes of recording it will give me a good project to get some work done. Should we reserve songs..you know..so everyone doesn't do "we three kings?" Or maybe that'd be cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tedster Posted October 7, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 7, 2005 Fuzz...of course..seems like everything should be cool from concert harp to blues harp. Thelonius, great idea! I've got a couple possibilities. One is a rockish "Cheap Tricky kind of" original...and the other is to do a sort of jazz version of Mel Torme's "Christmas Song" (although no one can do it like Nat could). I also at one time had a classical spoof of "12 Days of Christmas" that was fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beatles...Cheap Trick...then everyone else. I'd love to do a cover of Big Star's "Jesus Christ" I'll see how easy it is to record bells. Not to mention see how well those timpani sounds on the Kurzweil hold up in a recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzzball Posted October 9, 2005 Members Share Posted October 9, 2005 The open jam projects were a compilatin disk also, we each signed a contract (which I could help you make). Then the CD was put together and sent for duplication and sold at cost on Cdbaby.com the we each of us that contributed bough a copy at cost, and others also.

Members Tedster Posted October 9, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 9, 2005 Sounds fair enough. Want to get started? Just for a bit of fun, if anyone is interested... A few years ago, I recorded a classical guitar bed for "The Twelve Days of Christmas"...for a parody. Instead of the line "A partridge in a pear tree"...the line was replaced with "Sound Forge to Master CDs". The idea was to get separate contributors to dub in their own pro audio-music related ideas for the other 11 days. I still have the bed...it's mp3 (the original .wav files may exist somewhere, but not on my current computer). If anyone thinks this would be fun...feel free to hash it out. Here's a link to my bit...keep in mind it's meant as comedic in purpose. Yeah, the timing in a couple places sucks, but, if you think you could have fun with it, we could discuss it as a board project. Just for grits and shins, you know... http://tedster.net/Twelve.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
