I first just wanted to launch this thread....a thread for everyone to contribute their own personal rendition of this classic Christmas song.
I have an arrangement of my own that I will be recording tomorrow, and if it goes well, I will post it.
This will be a fun way for all of us to close out the year, together.
Looking forward to hearing your own versions.
Merry Christmas!

Did mine a bit earlier today.

Very nice !!

Wonderful idea! Here’s a version I did a while back as a Christmas gift to family and friends:
Happy holidays and may the coming year be filled with blessings and joy!
-
looking forward to hearing these tomorrow, and also adding my contribution as well. Sleep well, young elves!

Man, Jeff...that was beautiful! Love also, how you left the TV running in the background.

Merry Christmas everyone, happy holidays, and have the best 2025!

I deleted my video. I think I prefer my work when I don't sing....lol

This is really nice. Never thought of it as a "pretty" tune but this is lovely and that Taylor sounds great. Originally Posted by Alter

The low D sounds huge.

Well, I've got news for you. You've got a very nice voice and it betrays the man. Put it back, Allan, it's more than fine the way it was. Do it, I'm serious! Originally Posted by guitarvegas

Yeah I liked it. Had a real vibe. The chord choices behind your vocal were pretty weird, but worked, gave the whole thing an "anything but vanilla" feel. Originally Posted by ragman1

Well, really as far as I'm concerned Christmas was over yesterday or the day before but don't let me put you off.
Nice versions from everyone.
Quite interesting, I couldn't find a lead sheet anywhere, just bits and bobs on the internet and quite a few chord variations. There's a fearsome Real Book thing in Eb so I did it in C, naturally :-)

Okay, tell you what....I will either re-post the video, or I may just try it again and maybe will like it better. I just felt like it needed to mature a little bit more. But tha k you for the vote of confidence. Originally Posted by ragman1

Yeah, but it will be different. I will keep working on it. How about this, YES I will repost, and possibly post a second alternate take later. That's like a thing, right? Originally Posted by ragman1

Help me understand this "whole vibe" thing...because I didn't catch it. What exactly made this interesting or good even? What did I do? Originally Posted by mr. beaumont
Learning lesson, because I want to obviously do that thing again in future recordings. But I can't try for that, it has to be a natural thing that comes fourth in the recording, I suppose. Like, sort of organic in nature, right?

Anyone singing Jazz makes me envious! It is vocal music after all, and the lyrics are always so beautiful. I can sing very well pitch wise, but the voice...

Put the video back, Allan. It's your thread, don't spoil it. Originally Posted by guitarvegas
