    Merry Christmas, CUF!

    This year, for our Christmas gift, Salsa and I decided to spend a couple of hours at a friend's recording studio (using the term a little loosely...) to record some Christmas CD's. Here are the wma files if you're interested:

    http://www.sendspace.com/file/mn7rq7 (What Child Is This--violin/piano)
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/tex0hn (O Come, O Come, Emmanuel - piano)
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/lx35gk (Were You There? - piano)
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/wuml29 (The First Noel - vocal/piano)
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/npw8g8 (Silent Night - vocal/guitar)

    Salsa did the vocals, violin, and guitar, I did the piano (or really, keyboard, which I hate, but is much easier to record). Files are a little large (15 MB or so) and I should probably compress them to smaller mp3's, but...meh. If sendspace is too slow, send me your email and I'll send you smaller versions.
    At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

      Ok, is that really your wife singing? It sounds like Amy Grant on the First Noel. The piano play is sloppy, but her vocals are chill-inducing on the "NO OH OH ELLLLLLL," part. I like that you did all the verses too.

      Just kidding about the piano. It sounds great.

          "chill-inducing"? I'll pass that on...

          I don't disagree on the piano--part of that's sitting in a chair in front of a keyboard, part is throwing the whole thing together in two hours.

              There's a secret message above. And the violin is pretty damned good too.

              Yall have some decent skills. It would've been funnier if I'd said "clumsy" instead of "sloppy." Dang it.

                  Yeah, I noticed the secret message in the quote...but too late. Gave me a reason for an excuse anyway.

                      Salsa (your wife?) is very good. Very good.

                      I can't judge the piano, although I did laugh at Waup's comment. Either way, great job.

                          I still hate "Silent Night."

                              Well, thanks. I think she's enormously talented, but of course, I'm biased. Her mom did have a little singing career going before she had 4 kids in five years. Even after that, she would perform in casinos every weekend, which is really funny to me on a lot of levels.

                                  I still think that's blasphemy. Seriously?

                                      Yeah. There's no accounting for tastes. Something about it just bothers me. I've never heard a version that I liked. It's the cadence of it. It's like William Shatner talking. Maybe the original sounds better in German, but I don't think there's but one complete sentence in the whole sing.

                                                          Salsa has an awesome voice. I wish whoever mixed it had used a lot less reverb.
