December 23, 2015  -  User Showcase Song - At The Christmas Ball

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays everybody! It's been a fun year both making music and enjoying this community. Here’s a quick little Christmas ditty we just recorded.

At The Christmas Ball

Originally recorded by Bessie Smith 90 years ago and attributed to Fred Longshaw (and others) there is, unfortunately, no bio and scant other information regarding Mr. Longshaw on the net. Given the stature of the folks he played with it’s a shame more is not known about him. Many sites have the tune available for free download and archive.net lists it under a Creative Commons license allowing public use.

Having listened to these early blues folks for years we suspect there’s perhaps a bit more to the lyric than immediately meets the ear :-)

Thanks for listening!!
