It’s the last Wednesday before Christmas so I had to record and post this one take today! A Christmas classic from John & Yoko. The sentiments remain the same 50 years after its release.
I’m not entirely happy with my version but it’s a Christmas song and I don’t want to spend any more time on it. It’s a bit of a sus chord marathon and I found it quite difficult to keep the chords going whilst singing. The original has a choir fading out at the end with the ”war is over” refrain, mine is a bit more abrupt.
Nice one Gordon,

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, whoops wrong song.
Sadly I remember when this was released very nice rendition, enjoyed it.

Sounded pretty good to me Gordon. Merry Christmas to you and yours and also wishing you a happy new year!
I just was talking about you Gordon when I posted my song…
You put this one back on my list this week when I read you saying something about it and l;et me look at it (after my attempts last year), what a wonderful chord progression it is…
And you performed it wonderfully, your voice suits it very well …
Tsss "not entirely happy ", i and the most of us would ,
I was talking to someone this weekend who might want to sing it and I really hope that he will be produces a little like your warm sounds and timbre… I enjoyed it very much
Greetings
Great job Gordon.
I’d be “entirely happy” if I could match that performance
Mick
Great playing and singing Merry Christmas to you, too
Well I thought that sounded good, Gordon. Another fine OTW Christmas production. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
and more clapping is the immediate reaction! This tune seems so challenging and you did more than a good job on it as it’s very enjoyable to listen to…
I do agree with you on this and next year you’ll play it again with improved skills
And has 365 days to practice and build on it
I thought that was real good Gordon.
And that comes from somebody who don’t like christmas songs in particular. So that’s intended as a high compliment.
Since I’m a die hard Beatle (John Lennon) fan though. I can’t help myself. That Christmas song I do like.
Thank You for sharing!
