'Thanks For Christmas', covered by cuthbert. A late, late or early, early song for your Christmas holidays.
Original song written and released in 1983 by Three Wise Men (also known as XTC).
Lovely tribute, and that's some smooth slide playing right there. Reminded me of George Harrison in places - hope you don't mind the comparison (meant as a compliment).
Taking a few liberties with copywrite laws here, includes riff from Shakin all over, and the middle eight is house of the rising sun.I hope someone has a sense of humour
Hey there...I really enjoyed this one! Your voice reminds me a bit of the late great Kevin Ayers, and of course these Joe Meek songs are always a blast. Great how you mixed it up.
My second entry for Beatlesfest II at Songcrafters. This is a cover from the John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band album.

Thanks for listening.

Thanks for listening.
Thanks Andrew - I did have a great platform (the original song itself) to build upon. It has some personal meaning for me, too...and so I'm glad you liked it!

After the posing and posturing of my Life in Tokyo, here's a real balls out thrash from the Ramones.
I just finished recording this 5 minutes ago, the whole thing took about 90 minutes from when I started programming the drums to finishing…
Oh hai. This is Bryce!
I have a cold today, but on the brightside I conjured up a song!
Yes :3 I do realize the vocals are a tad quiet; I apologize for this! The next song will be better. I promise you that.

Back for another listen. I also hear a bit of Robyn Hitchcock, and some Marc Bolan influence in the vocals, too - love the dynamics. This is a good direction!

Braw, as the Scotsman would say to his mother! ;)
One of my faves by you...cool contrast between you and Greeny. Love the henwrench-only mix as well!
This is soooo good, man. Melancholy sits well between those flexing guitars. Nice solo, too - got some of the NY to it.
Thanks, James!

Hey, you don't hear this one covered often. Nice job on the harmonies!
Thanks, This Caveman's Fire!
Thanks The Old Grey Wolf Ltd Co. for your nice comment...I tried to mix it up a bit!
Excellent - really digging the Sabbath feel in the guitars!
Thank you, Ken!
Thanks again!
Thank you, Rob - I have a few Christmas goodies in the wings this year, too.
Awesome cover, man!
Thanks, UG - I had a blast doing this one!

Nicely done, Bryce! I like the syncopation and your vocals fit perfectly.
Thanks :) - if you haven't heard him before, please check out Syd Barrett...a unique songwriter and a major inspiration to me.
