Songcrafters.org

Instead of making each festival topic a sticky, I thought it was time to have a single Festivals topic which contains links and info about all of the festivals. This will make it easier to find festival info without having too many sticky topics. I've also created a web page for the festivals here:

Here it is:

https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=7112.0 (https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=7112.0)

I assume you guys are kidding about Streisand and Cher but I can add them to the choices if you really want me to.

Yes... just kidding!!! Well, I was. Lol

they meant judy garland

or was it Liza Minnelli?!

Is this where we suggest new festival themes?

I want to suggest a U2-Fest!

Okay. I'll add U2 to the choices for the next poll which begins October 3rd.

How about a Rescue Fest, whereby we attempt one of the following:

• Rescue good lyrics from bad music by putting the lyrics to a completely new melody and composition,
• Rescue good music from bad lyrics, by writing new lyrics
• Match-make good music and good lyrics that are currently in separate bad relationships.

Note: "good" and "bad" will be accepted as subjective values. No two people should have to agree that any particular lyrics or music is in need of a rescue.

This would definitely yeild some interesting results.

How to get your song added to the festival jukeboxes:

You must put the name of the festival in the subject of your message.

Ideally, the festival name should be first in the subject, followed by the title of the song.

So, for example, if you've recorded a brilliant cover of "Silent Night" for YuleFest and the subject of your message is "My favourite Christmas song", it will not be added to the YuleFest jukebox. If you want it to be added to the YuleFest jukebox, you should change the subject to:

YuleFest - "Silent Night"

Optionally, you can put additional text at the end. For example:

YuleFest - "Silent Night" - My favourite Christmas song


If your post is meant for more than one festival, you can put all of the festival names in the subject.

YuleFest, ComedyFest, DylanFest - "All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth" (sung Dylan-style)

Or, if you prefer, put just one of the festival names in the subject and state the others in the text of your message.


There have been several posts recently that seem like they should be in YuleFest but the poster did not indicate that he/she wants their song included in the festival jukebox. If you've posted a song that you would like to be added to a festival jukebox, please edit your message to add the festival name. When I see the festival name in the subject, I'll add the song to the jukebox.

It makes it a lot easier for me if I can quickly scan the subjects of my unread messages each day and determine which songs I need to add to the jukeboxes. I don't have time to read every message and listen to every song to decide which ones I need to add to the jukeboxes - especially at this busy time of year. And besides, it's possible that someone could post a song that they don't want in the festival jukeboxes. So I need you to tell me when you want your song added to a jukebox by putting the festival name in the subject.

Of course, your song still has to be appropriate for the named festival. If you post a cover of "Smoke On The Water" and add "YuleFest" to the subject, I'm not going to add it to the YuleFest jukebox because it's clearly not a Christmas song.

can we have a fest for van morrison https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=13655.0 (https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=13655.0)
shameless bump

I'd like to suggest a 'SuggestFest'. No, hear me out.... :D

         Like, under no obligation and all that, it would be cool if members requested other members to cover songs. Either via PM's or a board, I dunno. Provide links for tabs or chord charts or something. I have no musical talent what so ever, so I'd need the chords....I'm sure you all catch my drift....

        If any of our Admin team read this, I'll happily give a few examples....

      henwrench would very much like to SuggestFest that Mr(s) 64Guitars does play the 'Coronation Street' theme...

      henwrench would very really be pleased if a certain Mr cuthbert do renditions of 'Take It Easy' by them Eagles..

      henwrench would do some kind of back flip if Geir was kind enough to play 'I'm Still Standing' by Elton John


            ...and, like, if this was for real, I'd provide linkage for tabs and chords and lyrics and the such.

       BUT!!!!! the recipient of the SuggestFest, er, suggests, would be UNDER NO PRESSURE TO DO 'EM....

                                  I hope somebody will understand my terrible SuggestFest idea....

                                           henwrench

geir doing i'm still standing............i'd pay for that.

i suggest henwrench does  "the wild eyed boy from freecloud" uno it makes sense

Quote from: henwrench on May 10, 2013, 04:42:41 PMI'd like to suggest a 'SuggestFest'. No, hear me out.... :D

Not a bad idea. I'll certainly add it to our list of suggestions for future festivals.

Quotehenwrench would very much like to SuggestFest that Mr(s) 64Guitars does play the 'Coronation Street' theme...

That's a challenge I accept (when I find the time to work on it). I love doing TV themes. They're short, so they don't take as long to learn and record. And they're often instrumentals, which suits me because I don't sing. Of the few songs I've done on my own, my favourite is my cover of the Doctor Who (https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=1163.0) theme. It was great fun to learn and to record, and it didn't take all that long. One of these days, we must have a TV Themes fest. It's been in the polls many times but always gets beaten by a more popular choice.

Quotehenwrench would very really be pleased if a certain Mr cuthbert do renditions of 'Take It Easy' by them Eagles..

      henwrench would do some kind of back flip if Geir was kind enough to play 'I'm Still Standing' by Elton John

Yes! I would love to hear those too.


A somewhat-related topic was started years ago by Greeny:

https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=939.0 (https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=939.0)

It was entirely because of that topic that I covered Roy Orbison's "Oh, Pretty Woman" (https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=15050.0) with oldrottenhead.

I think it would be great if more people added their covers wish lists to that topic. If there are any songs within my capabilities and interests, I'd be glad to collaborate with any members. Hopefully, others will too. You should probably indicate which parts of the songs you want to do yourself and which parts you'd like someone else to do.

I think it's a great idea! I could see how it could possibly become overwhelming if there were multiple requests - but as long as it's voluntary whether or not you decide to do it, I think there's no pressure.

Quote from: henwrench on May 10, 2013, 04:42:41 PMhenwrench would very really be pleased if a certain Mr cuthbert do renditions of 'Take It Easy' by them Eagles..

I would never have thought of doing this song, myself...but now that you suggested, I'd really like to take a crack at it someday!

oh no  :o :o  ;D ....

I do have a problem saying no  :D

Phew!!!

This is a great idea... I would like to suggest that Tim Green do "Mountains Win Again" by Blues Traveler

Also... I would love to hear a Henwrench rendition of "Fame" by Bowie.

I just had a listen to that, having never heard of it before. A belter of a song. Yes... that could work :-)

Whoa, steady everybody...SuggestFest ain't won yet!!

        I think there will be an 'official' thread as and when...

                             :D :D
