A few years ago (2000-2002) I remember hearing a GBS Christmas song on a mixed album, can't track it down now. Anyone know which one I'm talking about?

By the way I'm new here but I've been a GBS fan since 1996.

The Seven Joys of Mary?

Hello and welcome to the OKP, Mtodd!

Nicki was offering a Christmas Wish CD on the "Christmas Season of Giving" thread. It's a mixed CD, and it has GBS doing The Seven Joys of Mary.

I'd link the thread for you here, but I haven't got a clue how to do that.

When the first caveman drove in from the drags
Didn’t know what would go with the bacon and the eggs
Must have met a genius, got it in his head
Plug the toaster in the wall, buy a bag of bread
Make toast.
YEAH, TOAST!

What do you mean by "mixed"? that it's a compliation, or that these are copies, burned off on someone's computer?

"Mixed" as in...compilation...various artists doing their versions of chosen songs...I just ordered a copy off the Downhomer site. Can't wait to get my sure to be fantastic new Christmas CD...

Note: There is also a Christmas Wish II CD listed on this site, lots of great songs, but no indication of who is singing what though.

one more question: does shanneygannock or Chris Andrews Appear on the cd? Thanks

Shanneygannock is on it with "What Child Is This", but no Chris Andrews. If you'd like to see the CD Andi, Columbine has a link to the page on Downhomer in the thread marked Christmas Season of Giving just a few topics down from this one. I'd put it in here, but am too computer challenged to figure it out. Check it out and you can see the whole line-up!

Great CD!!! but so hard to find. I don't think it's made anymore. It took me ages to find it, and I finally picked it up one Christmas on a trip home to Nova Scotia.

I think the album you are referring to is 'The Christmas Wish - Newfoundland Yuletide Favourites'

The track listing is:
1) Great Big Sea - Seven Joys of Mary
2) the Irish Decendants - Heading Home for Christmas
3) the Ennis Sisters - Mary's Lullaby
4) the Celtic Connection - Children's Winter
5) John Phillips - This Christmas Count on Me
6) the Fables - Silent Night
7) Wince Coles - Let There Be Room
8) the Ennis Sisters - Ennis Road
9) Shanneyganock - What Child Is This?
10) Tickle Harbour - the Piper in the Meadow/Ding Dong Merrily on High
11) Pamela Morgan - the Cherry Tree Carol
12) the Walsh Family - What Christmas Means to Me
13) Ray Lake - Christmas Memories
14) the Celtic Connection - I Saw Three Ships

Andi - Chris Andrews is the voice heard on the CD for the Shanneyganock song. Get the album - just skip that one!

I personally have always loved the Mummers Song, though I have no idea where it is from other than Christmas with Wayne Rostad. I also can't help but think Christmasy thoughts when I hear the first song ont eh new album. I know they say its really nort on the inside cover.

Let's just say it was a traumatic experience resulting in andi never wanting to go back to NFLD again. He was rude and disgusting and I'll leave it at that.
