CHRISTMAS! :D
stug:
Advent with Stu g Day 23
O Holy Night with Ben Cantelon
It’s been two years since the last delirious? Show, and in that time It’s been an absolute privilege to work with a diverse bunch of artists.
Someone said to me early in 2010: “Stu maybe this season isn’t about striving to be who you are, but about you helping other people be who they are.”
I think about that everyday.
So when I got a chance to write and record with Ben Cantelon from London, I was thrilled.
Ben has a really, really great voice and is a skilled song writer and lead worshipper.
Just last week we were cutting guitars on his new record and I told him about my advent blogs. Yesterday, he sent me this vocal for O Holy Night and I built a little track around it with my (dubiously intonated 1937) Dobro and an ebow orchestra.
Take a listen…and when he hits the high note at the end, if it doesn’t bring a tear to your eye, you have a heart made of “bah humbug” :-)
Happy Christmas Eve…Eve
UPDATE - Language Map of Europe for Twitter users…According to this map, it looks as the users of Twitter tend to be located around major transportation infrastructures.
The colors represent languages: gray for English, purple for French, red for German…This one has the language legend on the left.
“I really liked these maps both for their cartography but also for their demonstration that linguistic and national borders can be seen online as well. There has also been a tendency for fine scale mapping of Twitter data so it is nice to get a global perspective.”
