JPF Home Page Forums Lyric and MP3 Feedback Creative Challenge Forum OPEN MIC/Karaoke Party! Come jam with us!

We're missing our regular, Jen Warner here too the last couple of weeks!

nicked the flip again! next to post gets the freebie coupon!

Here is NEXT WEEK if you couldn't already guess...



I will be out of town, personally, from Tuesday forward and I suspect many of you have holiday plans as well.

I may as well announce now - I was not sure what to do with this place over Christmas -- but tho I don't have a banner made up - It's just gonna be open season on singing Holiday songs of your choice -- which should be fun!

But due to family responsibilities and travel etc, misc, throughout December I can't micromanage here as I know I'd want to and listen to every possible holiday tune posted - so ... rather than put the thread on hiatus I'll just challenge you to sing your guts out on holiday material! Plenty to pick from and A LOT of public domain to boot!


Thanks for understanding.... and with luck you will all SING A LOT over December and post here -- with fewer limitation rules - just sing and post when you like but you know, 4 songs/day from the same person - just like on the boards - may get overwhelming (LOL!) ... but ya know... we haven't had too much of that problem crop up so far so I expect you'll self-regulate OK in my semi-absence.

Then.... "Back to Work" with new weekly Challenges come January!!

Sound good? GOOD! OK GO!
(well, wait till Monday for Thanksgiving/gratitude songs please.... and if you'd light a candle on the 24th to mark the 20th of Freddie's passing... I would surely appreciate it!)

Linda

Thank You Mr. Santa Claus

The palm trees are shivering
As old man winter blows
My garden might end up with
A cucumber in snow

But I've still got the spirit
And a half a case of beer
Ray Charles is singing loud
Christmas time is here

CHORUS....
But we ain't got no chimney
On this old double wide
The doors are locked with
Pit bull's inside
So Santa here's an option that
Might make better sense
Drop our packages over the fence

Bring the twins a doll that wets
With tiny golden curls
A big city diamond ring
For Pearl my favorite girl

And some dirt plowin' tractors
For my country fried boys
And man I'd like a set of drums
So I can make some noise

REPEAT CHORUS....
But we ain't got no chimney
On this old double wide
And grandma's got her
Double barrel inside
So Santa here's an option that
Might make better sense
Drop our packages over the fence

Thank you Mr. Santa Claus
You're a far out dude
Everyone's in love with your
Ho Ho Ho attitude

REPEAT 1st CHORUS....

Linda, glad you're back. Here's one I have to re-learn for an upcoming gig 12/6--they want all Christmas songs. Co-written with my daughter Kimberly.

Hey, BUMP!

I've been away from the boards a while...

Sorry to have dropped this challenge thread dead in the water. Life went to chaos there for a bit.

Anyone up for coming on back??

How about -- since it's the Easter Holiday & Spring Break .... post here any 2 songs ya want to this week and let's see what happens!

take care all - Linda

well, a bump with a song in it this time. Hope you like -- this is a rough first draft of Page/Plant's Please Read The Letter.

http://www.singsnap.com/karaoke/r/b46fe86f0

thanks! anyone else up for a grab the mic & sing something --?? Post it here!!!

Lol it's more a song with a few bumps in it... hahhaaaa
that's why this is the karaoke "allowed to be imperfect!" thread!!!!
I just have always loved this song since I first heard it, and it was Featured on SingSnap today.

and here's one I want to really work on: this was taped 15-20 minutes from my first listen to the song so. It's getting better
Adele - One and Only from "21"

I'm not Adele or trying to copy her. I gotta sing this the way I feel it.
Thanks guys!

http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11725047

OK MS LINDA I POSTED ONE...AND EVEN THOUGH I'VE BEEN SICK A LIL' IN THIS TEXAS HEAT I REALLY HAD FUN,.....

glyn

Thank you Glyn!! I'll listen up soon as I have a minute! Glad you're still here & playing along!!!

Been so busy --- whew!!!

Hey Linda,

Nice rendition of "One and Only." I recently watched her DVD live at the Royal Albert Hall and I not only enjoyed her singing but also the stories she told in between songs.

Cool song, Glynda! I enjoyed the piano accompaniment, was that played by anyone or did you use a midi program to program the notes?

Here's one of my latest, a piano/drum instrumental I recorded in an afternoon about a year ago, called "Permanent Midnight." I was inspired by Peter Gabriel for the percussion (even if it's not really obvious) and the piano parts were recorded spontaneously and then layered together. Enjoy!

HI Ann....thanks for liking my song...John Lawrence Schick our own beloved friend here on JPF's did the Piano track for me...For this song I only wanted the piano in it....I sent John a music track with only 4 chords on it that I had done on Jamstudio, but I don't know well enough yet how to change the chords up to change for the chorus...I asked John and he sent me this wonderful track...and I'll never forget how beautiful it is...

Listening to your music now and enjoying it...very calming, relaxing...would love to have this downloaded and playing sometimes when I can't sleep.....love it...

glyn

Somebody needs to find Linda Adams and show her how popular her post has been!

Hi! Well I have finally found this good news!!

Thank you, Brian. Most appreciated!
looks like the party died off....

I can semi-resurrect it with a recent track, perhaps:

Linda
While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Acoustic
http://www.singsnap.com/karaoke/r/b3926692f

Thanks folks!
See ya around --

I guess this thread has over 2 million views!! I am amazed!
That's the famousest thing I've done yet. LOL

It would be fun to keep it going Linda. Perhaps you and others could make a post about it on Facebook and then I will share your explanation for how it works etc. on my accounts as well. Can you do it?

Linda, Linda, Linda! Are you there? I see you on FB all the time!

Welcome back everyone!

So this one I did for an online open mic during the pandemic just crossed 20,000 streams yesterday on YouTube.


Maybe this can help get us going again.

Thanks for posting Marty! I think you have a good idea. I wonder how we could develop this a bit to turn it into an actual Open Mic?

We should bring this back soon. Is there an updated list of the best/most popular karaoke programs / apps?
