Hi everyone, sorry for the delay as away on holiday. Sadly, I didn't get time to enter a song for December as it was a ridiculously busy month for us and then Christmas was here and the holidays before I knew it. Anyway, here are some old ones I did a few years ago for Christmas which I will use as my entry.

I have one that I am thinking about doing which is Something in the Water by Brooke Fraser but covered by the Wellington Ukulele sympathy orchestra which I quite like.

easybeat, you're too hard on yourself, your entry made me smile when I listened to it. I don't think you left it up long enough for people to hear it.
Tigljk, another great bit of writing skills there on your song Give me Christmas. You just keep on coming up with them, don't know how you do it. I had a listen on Sound Cloud, and I liked where you were going with this one and the beat to it.
mojo, great to see you back here after being away so long, thanks for entering a song for us this month. Great cover, I hadn't heard that song before, so I went to Robert Earl Keen and listened to it and then listened to your cover and you covered it really well, suited your voice.

Re: DECEMBER 2022 FSOTM – SNOW, WINTER, SUN, BEACH, CHRISTMAS SONGS (27 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Here is my version of Grah1's Xmas carol:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm6c9tsDFuY
It was quickly recorded between dropping off wife at shops and making kids lunch, so I fluffed up the mid8 that goes back to the verse turn around ... I probably had enough time to re-record it in hindsight, but this is first take, warts 'n' all ...
Enjoy!
Richard
Richard, that was well done, really good cover of Grah`s song. I couldn't hear any fluffed-up bits, you did it proud.

neophytte, great to see you performing with a fellow musician. Great to hear an original song, Driving Rain too and you performed well together. I liked the backup vocals you added to his song.
Also, your other song, swinging on a star an oldie but a goodie, I haven't heard that in a very long time.

Nice cover of a good old song. On a side note, the balance was good with vocals and guitar on this one, you got it just right.

You sing this song with a ton of attitude. Very enjoyable and great to hear you sing and play again, you got the uke/voice mix perfect. You may not believe this but I've only recently heard this song for the first time? Well done.
Thanks, Phill, for taking a listen and comments. Oh wow, amazed you hadn't heard this song until recently, an oldie but a goodie
