Thanks, Stinger. #Nice version you put together - 2 mandos? #
Mike - mine is in the same folder as Stinger's, at the Yahoo site.

Very nice versions, guys!!! I'll try to put something together too. I'm working all the Christmas and won't see my folks at all...only my boyfriend on Christmas Eve. So I think I'll feel quite lonely when I'm not at work, I'll play the mandolin instead.

I've just uploaded my Christmas tunes, hope you enjoy them!

Thanks to Dave and Stinger for your enjoyable renditions, I hope there are more to come!

Merry Christmas to all project members. #

You put me in the Christmas mood, Roger.
I have never heard GRYMG before (apart from Stinger´s and Dave´s versions of course), so it doesn´t mean a lot of Christmas to me, but "Silent Night" does. I guess that tune is a worldwide Christmas "messenger".
And it´s so right on a violin.

Thanks Roger.

Søren, I'm glad to have helped put you in festive mood.

I've just uploaded an unaccomanied version of Silent Night just in case the other one wasn't long enough for you.

[sjusk]

Oh, you melted my heart.
The sound of your mellow and lonely fiddle from a good old British back porch is simply great!
You know I love fiddle - !!!
And you just h a v e to put in a little oldtimish flavour in the second time around - I love it!

Merry Christmas, Roger!
And thanks mate.

Søren

PS: I still hope to get around recording a wee Christmas tune to upload.

[sjusk]

With craig´s help I just made it, and have put my contribution on the Mandolin Project site.

It´s a tune called "Nu er det jul igen", which translates into: "It´s Christmas again".

This song is known all over Scandinavia, right Susi? I bet you know it too. I know my Norwegian cousins do.

I took the liberty to invite our local man´s choir, "Morgenrøden" to assist me on the second part round. I don´t know how well that turned out; they´re very focused on Christmas brew these days.

Merry Christmas to you all!!!!

Søren - I love it! Merry gentlemen indeed.

[Bluegrasstjej]

Wonderful, Sören!! Just wonderful!! And yes, I do know that song. Very nicely done. Christmas indeed.

[sjusk]

Hey picksnbits and b-tjej, thanks. I tell you, I really tried to keep those guys away from my little private recording session, but they just FORCED this invitiation out of me...hmmmm...

(I´m really glad I didn´t put up the version where the members of the man´s choir got in to a fight, the police turned up, my computer caught fire and the mrs. announced she wanted a divorce!!!)

[fiddlegit]

There are a couple more very enjoyable Christmas tunes uploaded to the site.

Just thought I'd let you know as they seem to be too modest to anounce it themselves!

[picksnbits]

I just posted one to Yahoo. My 6-year old is accompanying me on piano. I had to record it on my company-provided laptop, MS sound recorder cut us off at 60 seconds and the quality isn't all that great, but I thought I'd let you guys hear it anyway.

[sjusk]

Your 6 year old is just smashing! It´s a beautiful duet, and it all stays in the family. Impressive!

Happy New Year!!
Søren
