[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!
