Want to give an audio Christmas greeting

[pawtucket]

I have a number set up that you can leave a voicemail message and I will try to put them up during the next weeks as Christmas approaches.

You can even tell a favorite Christmas story if you would like.

201- 9 THE GSC

Igor the voice attendant will let you leave a message for posting in this forum. Please PM me to verify your message.

merry christmas all you gaylords

[sirguessalot]

yeah...merry Christmas all you gaylords

..all us holy fools and saints

Paw, and everyone

...something else in addition to and alongside your cool idea for sharing and recording christmas greetings and messages and such

i went out and bought a nice headset have been playing Skype with a handful of friends and family

as well as in my studies with fellow students

anyway...i tell ya...it is (typically) simple, easy, works good, and free...complete with a chatroom

then..of course...it could get really wild if whomever figures out how the entire conference could simply "skype out" by calling the Christmas greeting number you have set up

record a christmas greetings to the old friends lost in HQ, or something...hehe...be it olive branch or bag of burning poop

...which could possibly then become recorded choruses of voices and greetings and general merriment and holy mayhem...planned wider conversations and interviews could be recorded, mining for gemstones of stories

skypecasts are a cool thing to look into

just a thought or two

some may be into such things..some not

some may even go crazy have a ball with it

David- Get your fiddle out and play us a song:)

hmmmm. Can that be done over the phone?? We'll see. ;)

[Linda Z]

Yes, I fully expected to hear some fiddlin'...go for it!

[pawtucket]

The phone lines are open. Next some fiddling?

[dmiller]

Ok. I'll bite. While loathe to pick unaccompanied over the phone,

I remembered a tape I have, where I am playing all the instruments.

I'll try to play that over the phone. Hopefully it will be *airable*.

The tune is called "Fischer's Hornpipe".

I'm playing piano, bass, mandolin, guitar, fiddle, banjo and cello.

I recorded it all on a Fostex 4-track recorder in my dining room, where the piano is..

Hope you all like it.

Merry Christmas. :)

Bravo, David! Fiddle music is such happy music. Makes me wanna dance. Where's NIKA???

I'm impressed when anyone can play so many instruments. You've got music in your soul, and that's a good thing. Thank you for sharing it with us.
