Since the Christmas season is officially on......

This has been posted in the past, but I'm guessing there's a few here that haven't heard this older version of the song. Done with BB & RB providing the rendered wave tracks.

I'm playing the piano and the guitars. Everything else is BB.

GREENSLEEVES

Hope you enjoy this blast from the past.... it's a bit on the "heavy side" but hey..... I like it like that.

I recommend listening with good headphones or speakers cranked..... with a sub...... wink

This would make a great soundtrack for that TV show "Reign" when everyone is dressed up in quasi-Eizabethan style just before they show up at the grand ball and make 112 anachronistic mistakes in the dialogue and confuse several continents and a dozen rulers, right before the background music breaks out into a rousing rendition of AC/DC's Highway to Christmas Hell and everyone starts getting freaky with whips and chains under the mistletoe.

In fact, it would be perfect!!!!!!

Mix it down man.

Hi, "Guitarhacker"!

Seems it's been a while. I hope everything's on the "up-and-up" with you.

Your version of "Greensleeves" has a bit of the style of the music in the film soundtracks composed by the Italian composer, Ennio Morricone, for the "spaghetti westerns" from the late 60's starring Clint Eastwood.

I could almost hear that eerie melody, "Ah-ooo-ah-ooo-ahhh (wah, wah, wah-h-h!) as I listened to it. Then, again, I could also hear Roy Orbison's distinctive style and voice delivering the lyrics like the musical outlaw he was.

Pretty cool and very unique version of an ages-old Christmas standard, "GuitarHacker"!

Impressed,

LOREN

David Synder:

Wow, that was a hilarious scenario for the use of "Guitarhacker's" version of "Greensleeves" that you laid out laugh!!!

Tickled,

And a great big thank you for listening and commenting. I'll be pulling a few more out of the dusty vaults of history for the christmas season.....

I'm working on some new stuff and should have some of that ready in a bit.

Love it Herb!!! Sweet version. You got the surfer vibe going with the guitar early on, and kind of a Queen vibe toward the end. Sweet tone and playing!! Thanks for posting! Take care. Greg

Hello Guitarhacker
It has a bit Clint Eastwood movie theme to it.... I see horse's and panoramic views.
It's very well done. I enjoyed this and "Whiskey For Breakfast" too...
