[dcab-l] DCBU fundraising sputtering, waddyasay about helping out?

A membership renewal will get you a chance at some cool bluegrass prints from Jeromie Stephens!

Links are included below...

We've hooked up with Jeromie Stephens to offer two prints from his great bluegrass collection. Jeromie has been a bluegrass photographer for over 30 years, lending an artful eye to the genres best musicians. You've seen his work in FRETS!, Bluegrass Unlimited, Rolling Stone, Fretboard Journal and The Washington Post.

With a donation to DCBU, you'll get entries to the raffle, and that great feeling of helping the DC Bluegrass Union do what we do Jam, throw great birthday parties, jam some more (more than 50 a year), underwrite education (Orrin Star scholarship); foster song writing (BTW the Hazel Dickens Song Contest is open); instrumental composition (Mike Auldridge Instrumental Contest) and, yes, we'll be getting back to promoting live shows this year.

All of that and more!

Our first raffle is a contact sheet collage of many familiar faces- from the wide ranging world of bluegrass to some DC locals too. Here's the link

The second is a classic shot of Tony Rice and his guitar.

They're both 22"x17" before framing, and we'll handle that too.

So, its just a click away. Jump on over, and join in!

[dcab-l] Woody & Dad: Star of Bethlehem

Bluegrassers:

My son Woody and I did this recording in our living room in 2009, with Ed’s Martin

and Woody’s uke. This version drives along pretty good! Words below:

Beautiful Star Of Bethlehem

Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem
Shining afar through shadows dim
Giving the light for those who long have gone
Guiding the wise men on their way
Unto the place where Jesus lay
Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on.

   Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem      (Star of Bethlehem)
   Shine upon us until the glory dawns.
   Give us a light to guide the way
   Unto the land of perfect day
   Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on (shine on)

Oh Beautiful Star the hope of light
Guiding the pilgrims through the night
Over the mountains till the break of dawn
Into the light of perfect day
It will give out a lovely ray
Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on (shine on)

Oh Beautiful Star the hope of rest
For the redeemed the good and blessed
Yonder in glory when the crown is won
Jesus is now the star divine
Brighter and brighter he will shine
Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on (shine on)

[dcab-l] Woody & Dad: "What Child is This?"

Friends of Christmas 2023:

This is the 15th year my son Woody and I have recorded a Christmas Carol together.

Others we've done in years past, and available on the link below:

2009 "Star of Bethlehem"

2010 "Silent Night"

2011 "Silver Bells"

2012 "Blue Christmas"

2013 "White Christmas"

2014 "Winter Wonderland"

2015 "The Friendly Beasts"

2016 "Away in a Manger"

2017 "The First Noel"

2018 "Jingle Bells" and "Santa Clause is Coming to Town"

2019 "Feliz Navidad" and "Holly Jolly Christmas"

2020 "Silent Night" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"

2021 "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" and Do You Hear What I Hear"

2022 "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day"

2023 "What Child is This"

For 2023 we've recorded "What Child is This?". Woody did the recording, mixing,

Dobro, and harmony; Dad sang lead and played the guitar and bass. I used an ‘09

Martin Marquis for guitar, and my Gold Tone acoustic bass guitar for the bottom end.

"What Child Is This?" is a Christmas Carol with lyrics written by William Chatterton

Dix in 1865 and set to the tune of "Greensleeves", a traditional English folk song, in

1871. Although written in Great Britain, the carol today is more popular in the United

States than its country of origin.

Please enjoy, and we wish everyone a happy and prosperous Holiday Season!
