LYRICS:

Colorado Cowboy Christmas
© 2016 Bob Buford

Grandpa bought this old sleigh, back in 1892,
Straight from Sears and Roebuck, It’s just about right for two
We got a feed sack full of presents, a rack of antlers on the prow
Big white balls on my cowboy hat, Man, we’re havin’ some fun now.

Oh, it’s a Colorado Cowboy Christmas, on the Rocky Mountain plains
No reindeer around, just some elk we found, so we hooked ‘em up to the reins
We’ll be hittin’ every town and farmhouse, and spreadin’ Christmas cheer
Got a turkey made of Spam, a Safeway ham, and a case of cold Coors beer.

Folks back there in Denver, they think we’ve lost our minds
Cause Christmas time in the country, ain’t exactly the traditional kind
We put lights on the tree in our front yard, and we crowd around a roastin’ hog
Tell our jokes, with our hand-rolled smokes, and a pack of old hunting dogs

Yeah, it’s a Colorado Cowboy Christmas, on the Rocky Mountain plains
No reindeer around, just some elk we found, so we hooked him to the reins
We’ll be hittin’ every town and farmhouse, between here and the county line
Puttin’ on a show, as we crash through the snow, with our box of cheap red wine.

Yeah, It’s a Colorado Cowboy Christmas, on the Rocky Mountain plains
No reindeer around, just some elk we found, so we hooked him up to the reins
We’ll be hittin’ every town and farmhouse, and spreadin’ Christmas cheer
We’ll have stories to tell all the winter long until we’ll do it all again next year,
We’ll have stories to tell all the winter long and then we’ll do it all again next year.

Bob,

Great fun! Very nice sound to the swing guitars and really good lyrics... think I`ll pass on the roast hog, but otherwise a Colorado Christmas sounds fine.

Hey Scott...thanks man. Glad you liked it. It was just such a fun project to do. I kept laughing when I was trying to track the vocal; I thought I wouldn't get it finished. Wish they were all this much fun.

Bob,

An excellent first write with BIAB 2017! A sign of good things ahead for the new year.

A fine rocky mix, fun lyrics and superb vocal (loved the echo).

Nice one,
Jez

Hey Greg...I've actually seen a turkey made of Spam. Not sure why anyone would think that's a good idea. But apparently people sculpt a lot of things out of Spam. Seemed appropriate for the song. grin

Thanks for listening. Merry Christmas,
Bob

Hard to go wrong with some country swing!

Takes us back to the cowboy vibe that surrounds Steamboat Springs where we used to spend some time.

The "fun-nes factor" oozes right on through this.

Cool production -- really like the vocal and effects.

Enjoyed the spin,

J&B

Thanks, J&B (Wow..."J&B"...just had a college flashback!)

Yea nothin' says "cowboy" like 240" of snow! And Steamboat's got it. You could lose a whole herd in there.

Thanks for listening, grin

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
