Pat, your suggestion, and Keith's question, got me to thinking, is the very beautiful Carol of the Bells public domain now? I think it is, since it was written before 1920.

So - I did this little re-harmonization just for fun. It's cool to blow over the changes and I'll probably play it on flute in church in December's concert. It's in two parts, starting with relatively straight-forward (for me, anyway) piano and flute, going into a jazz trio with flute. 2 1/2 minutes MP3.

Everything here was done quickly in BIAB, then thrown together quick & dirty in Adobe Audition.

Hi guys,
What's the best way to find out if a song is Public Domain, or still under copyright?




here's another way:

Pat,

I should make it clear that I didn't do any of my stuff with PG products. I'm not saying it couldn't be done, but in your last post you talked about building support for BIAB2011.

-Scott




Well, if it stirs interest in making music, I feel sure it will get people on the forum excited about the upcoming version.

Here is a Christmas tune I started the lyrics in early October and finally got around to a first draft recording. Probably needs one more re-write and re-record (or two, or ...).

Kevin

P.S. If you are under headphones and hear extraneous voices it is just the TV and fam upstairs -- you're not going crazy (I always pull the headphones off and go what?? But no one is there! Actually, there are lots of extraneous noises in there).

********************************************
Red Fire Truck
(c) Emmrich 2010

Back long ago,
I remember a Christmas season
my dad always saying that
things happen for a reason

well that year I prayed and hoped,
that, besides the GI Jo,
I would get my heart's desire in that toy store window

I said "God, I know you're near please tell Santa
I was good this year, and can you ask him for me please ...

(chorus)
bring me that red fire truck
with the dalmatian and bells
and the ladders and the siren
and you'll never hear me crying
and if you do this for me
you'll have no regrets
cause I'll never ask for anything else

(verse)
but Dad got laid off in November
was tough to pay bills in December
mama cried, Dad said, don’t worry, it’s time for gifts

went to joe's last chance junkyard
scrounged for wheels and truck parts
and we spent the week fixing,
painting, making it look sleek

While I sanded, the TV came on
some boy was on Santa's lap
and then he begged and pleaded to him

(chorus again)

and although I knew what was coming
I still ran down to unwrap
and I swear it was my best Christmas ever

so today when my boy told me what he desired
I knew just what to do.
Yea I could just buy it,
but my son deserves the best I can do

You see, he asked me please:

(chorus again)

Kevin: Vocals, Acoustic Guitar
BIAB: drums, bass, acoustic guitar

I have advice. Do what you can now. Stay up late and make the grand kids a CD. Go places and do things. Saving for the future, I did that...




That's pretty good advice!

Hi Pat,

Just thought I would bump this to the top.

Where are all you songwriters?
Put your Christmas challenge songs on the User Showcase (I'm getting lonely )

Get em' written.

Here is my Christmas song entitled "He's More".

To listen, go to the motagator site listed below and select the song or click on the player window.

Motagator.net/Robsmusic

Here is a portion of the lyrics:

There's a baby in a manger
Sweet Messiah, Prince of Peace
He's the promise of salvation
To all who will believe
To all who will believe, that

(Chorus)
He's more than just a baby
So much more than just a lamb
He's the savior of the nations
The great I Am
He's more than just a man


-rob

PS:
I performed all instruments and voices.

Rob what can I say this is absolutely brilliant.If you cant get a cover from this then I know nothing about music.I can hear all kinds of people singing this eg gospel choirs light opera singers and yeah even pop stars but if that was you singing on there you should put it out yourself because your vocal was great and the arrangement was so professional..cant wait to hear more stuff from you cheers Frankie

Well I finally got a Christmas tune fleshed out enough to post. I started working on it here and there years ago, and finally rose to the challenge to finish it. This is by no means a finished product,

Rob

I'll post it in the users section as well.
