We'll I heard Christmas songs at Kohls this week so I thought I better get with it and put out our Christmas song😄This was written 2021 Christmas Season. The pix is the manger scene I use every year! I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Blessed New year!
Verse 1
Among the many presents underneath my Christmas
Long ago a Gift was born, born for you and me
A Savior in this baby, so the wise men came.
King s and humble shepherd boys worship Him this day
Tag
In a lowly manger our long awaited Savior
Gift of Love and Light
Born to us this Christmas night
Chorus
The star in the East leads to our King ( Background vox repeat Oh Holy Night Oh Holy Night)
This Holy Night Oh Holy Night
The Promised One creation sings
This Holy Night Oh Holy Night
Verse 2
There’d been no word from Heaven
Til the Christ Child cried
A darkened world now full of hope 
In one soft little sigh
Mary held her baby Joyful Angels fill the sky
Sing Glory in the Highest Peace on Earth to All Mankind
Repeat Tag and Chorus

(snare for a drummer boy feel)great job Josh(16 @ the time)!
Bridge
With wonder we welcome the King of Kings Emmanuel Emmanuel
Repeat 4 times
Then repeat Chorus

Evangelina

Lyrics by Tony Harris
Vocals, Music, Mix & Production by Glenny G's "One Man Band"
Words that inspired Glen are listed below. 

HE GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN
DOWN IN THE DEEP SOUTH
LOVED FOUR/FOUR TIME
AND MAKIN' WORDS RHYME

HE TRIED HIS HAND AT SONGWRITIN'
SIGNED A FEW SONG CONTRACTS
HAD A FEW PLAYED ON THE RADIO
BUT THINGS WERE MOVIN' SLOW

HE DECIDED TO MOVE TO MUSIC CITY 
WHERE THE COST OF LIVIN' WAS HIGH
A CITY FULL OF SINGER/SONGWRITERS
WANTIN' TO BE COUNTRY STARS

(CHORUS)
IF YOU LOVE MAKIN' WORDS RHYME
AND WRITIN' COUNTRY SONGS
MOST PEOPLE WOULD  AGREE
NASHVILLE'S THE PLACE TO BE
BUT, MAKIN' IT ON MUSIC ROW
CAN BE A HARD ROW TO HOE

DIDN'T TAKE HIM LONG TO FIND OUT
IF HE WANTED TO WRITE A HIT
HE HAD TO WORK OVERTIME
MAKIN' HIS WORDS RHYME

WELL, WORKING OVERTIME
DIDN'T HELP HIM VERY MUCH
CAUSE, NASHVILLE'S A TOUGH SALE
AND A HARD LADDER TO CLIMB

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Making Words Rhyme - Original Collab by Tony Harris & Glenny G's "One Man Band"

Rather than follow the traditional path for this classic Christmas song we decided to change the words just a bit so the story is quicker paced than usual and told in the present tense. The message is eternal and unchanging and we hope our acoustic folk version will express it as well as any other version has for generations. Wishing everyone a very joyful Christmas 2022! 

We also did a music video with Nat & performing this song: https://youtu.be/Qwd9lq5Wkeo

Lyrics:  Noel (adapted from the traditional The First Noel)

On the first Noel 
Shepherds see a great star
That is guiding three wise men 
From countries afar.
And onto the earth 
Shines this glorious light
Over Bethlehem where the 
Newborn King lies

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! 
Born is the King of Israel!

Following the Holy light, 
To a stable they come
And there lies dear Jesus, 
God’s only son
Falling to their knees, 
With a gift they each bare 
Humbly looking upon the Lord’s 
Gift lying there

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! 
Born is the King of Israel!

Come farmers and statesmen, 
Come rich and come poor
Praise the gift of Christ Jesus, 
From our heavenly Lord.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! 
Born is the King of Israel! 
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! 
Born is the King of Israel!

Noel

This is a happy account of that special time of the year where we can often just wander through the throngs of people and spirit of the Christmas season. Nat wanted to capture that classic, old school holiday pop song vibe. Think 1950’s or 60’s. No need to look for anything but the most common denominators here as we wish everyone the happiest of holidays the Christmas season!

Lyrics: Christmas Time With You

Whooooo can you feel it
There’s magic in the air
The smell of home made Christmas pie
And there’s yule tide planning ‘till the morning light

All the world is full of cheer
And the church bells ring out clear
The glow of lights blocking out the night
As it jingles and it jangles to our hearts delight

So we’re walking hand in hand
As a sweet salvation band
Starts playing a Christmas song

People rush to hurry by
All the parcels sweetly tied
There’s a Santa ringing a shiny bell
But he’s not St. Nick and the kids can tell

But the magic of his Cheer, 
Will remind us why we’re here
To rekindle love for all mankind
And to share a bit of kindness through this holy time

And so we’re walking hand in hand
As a sweet salvation band
Starts playing a Christmas song..
Kiss me sweetly, and hold my hand
On this corner where the band
Is playing our Christmas song

Christmas Time With You

Two guitars + mandolin. Inspired by Guy Trepanier doing the same tune on a classical guitar, beautiful version BTW.
Also thinking of Maddie McNeal who recorded a beautiful Christmas CD, RIP Maddie. You are missed.

Holly And The Ivy

A great Christmas carol written by Michael Perry (1942-1996). Written to the tune of the Calypso Carol, it's a song I enjoy singing at this time of year.

See Him Lying On A Bed Of Straw

See Him Lying On A Bed Of Straw (Michael Perry) © Mrs B Perry/Jubilate Hymns

This is an original love song that recalls such a vivid passion that he temps fate by dare asking if all these years later it could be reignited. Despite all odds, he ponders the seemingly impossible.

Lyrics:    Like We Could by Craig Durgy

I’m sure we can’t recall, the name of that motel
Where we parked our cars and hugged so hard we, 
Nearly fell
Like first time teenage fool-arounds we, 
Unlocked that door
And our summer duds went flying to the floor

And I loved you like no other, ‘cause I could
Never love another, the way we would
And I’d go back to that day with you, when it felt so good
Would you kiss me now, as if we really could
Can you understand, what we understood
And felt so good, like we could

The sun just melted all our cares, that distant day
But the bluegrass bands, like sonic fans just, 
Blew the sweat away
And I held you by your cut-off jeans like, 
Somewhere deep I knew
That loving you was too good to be true

And I loved you like no other, ‘cause I could
Never love another, the way we would
And I’d go back to that day with you, when it felt so good
Would you kiss me now, as if you really could
Can you understand, what we understood
And felt so good, like we could

Like We Could

This song has a special meaning for us.  We sat on Durge's couch and completed the words together, and created a video on the same day.  This is about the true meaning of Christmas, sentiments we so humbly want to share with you all. 
With all the Love in our hearts..    A Very Merry Christmas to you All.  from Nat & Durge xxx

Lyrics:
This Holy Christmas Eve.. 

I guess it’s time to set the table
The fairy lights they flicker like fireflies
The smell of wood and coal from the fire
The Laughter of family and peace is found in all

There so much I feel so grateful for
The years have been so sweet
And through the blessings 
And the bitter 
Life is so complete

The TV plays a Christmas Carol,
There’s far too much to do..
Don’t want the time to run a mile,
And yet it slows down lost in the thoughts of you…

Yes the You that is the World today, 
The way we all can be
I’ll give my love with warmth and pleasure 
A hand , a hug,  
We stand together 

But All I am is all I can give
My love is yours.. yes yours
And may the world find peace this evening
As the snow falls on the this Holy Christmas Eve

This Holy Christmas Eve

It’s difficult for people to escape doubt. No matter how good things may seem at any point in our lives, there are always moments of concern, of counter-thought and worry that lurk in the shadows of our imagination. Few things are without blemish and most of us can be unforgiving in the presence of imperfection. Thus, the shadows and the darkness that seeks to stifle the light.

Lyrics:
Shadows of Doubt by Daniels & Durgy

Love can come, through the wind and rain
But too much sun, burns it all away
What I thought was fun,
What I thought would stay
Is up and gone like a Christmas Day

You appeared and your lips were true
Through the fear, I was lost in you
It was all so clear, but the moments flew
Then it slipped away with the slightest clue

But I still want you, but do I dream
Is my judgment, too extreme
Am I searching for an excuse
Could I ever, really cut you loose

As love grows, time reveals
Everything it knows, coming off its wheels
Dealing blows, does it blow the deal
Does it show what my heart should feel

Just a couple words, did I read ‘em wrong
Cause the way I heard, hit me pretty strong
The doubt occurred, like a half-wrote song
Throw it all away and just move along.  

But I still want you, but do I dream
Is my judgment, too extreme
Am I searching for an excuse
Could I ever really cut you loose
No, I just can’t let you loose.

Shadows Of Doubt

The season is upon us...Merry Christmas Folks! The Constant reliability through the Ages, has always been our ability to Love, to Hope, and to Dream.  May this song remind you all, that no matter how small an Idea or action may seem, you can never know the ripples it will initiate through time.  May you ALL Be Blessed, Fed, Healthy, and Loved this Christmas..    With All our Love, Nat & Durge.  

With Special thanks to Little Miss Maïa for singing along on this song! She's only 9 years old, but she showed a lot of courage to sing a long with her Mama, and her awesome Uncle Durge.  

Thank you Maïa, for being my Chorus of Angels xxx

Lyrics: Down Through The Midnight by Nat Daniels

Rolling downward, through the midnight
Bursts a glorious heavenly song
And It’s a chorus of Light and Angels
That pierced the night so long ago

Oh Glory in the highest
On this glorious Christmas Eve
And it’s so crazy oh…to imagine
What a night it must have been
The earth stood still and witnessed Holy peace ..
And felt such peace!
And the wise became so humble,
As the Angels blessed the earth beneath their feet.

Choir:
Glory in the highest.. 

The gentle cry of a child that saved us
Will echo on ‘till all is gone,
But times have made life so confusing
And yet His love lives on in all

Oh Glory in the highest
Christmas Eve so long ago
And It’s so crazy oh.. to imagine
How a child could change the world
The earth stood still in silent reverie
And felt such peace!
And the wise became so humble,
As the Angels blessed the earth beneath their feet.

So do you hear it, through the midnight?
Can you hear the Angels’ song?
Oh it’s only heard in your kindness ..
And you will hear their song of old

Down Through The Midnight

I wrote this one just before July 4th, 2016 as I was troubled by how patriotism seems to be fading these days. Frequently equated with nationalism, or expansionism and other more aggressive, negative concepts relative to the global community. Pride and values for our traditional ideals and foundations have been well battered. It's often an unpopular and uneasy position for a person to show true love for America. So this song attempts to declare it indeed very cool and very important to hold onto the basic and good principles that make America uniquely wonderful. Right on!

Remixed and produced with many thanks to Nat Daniels to help improve my rough original track.

Lyrics
Right On by Craig Durgy

I passed somebody on the street today, he said how are ya and I said OK
I never saw the guy before or since but he’s my brother, we’re Americans
Right On, we are Americans, Right On

But lately we’ve been getting pulled apart, 
Testing our constitution and our heart
Some people make and others take too much 
And now we’re hunted down, we’ve had enough
Right On, it’s time that we get tough, Right On

Right On, sea to shining sea, Right On, trying to keep it free
Right On, brother you and me, let’s pull together
Right On, when we fought for days, on Iwo Jima till our flag was raised
Right On, when only God was praised, Right On

These days I guess our country ain’t so cool, all our customs are like fossil fuel
So many people that don’t give a damn,
For Old Glory and our Uncle Sam
Right On, for our Uncle Sam, Right On

Right On, freedom must be won, Right On, we can’t turn and run
Right On, till the fight is gone, we must stay together
Right On, say the words out loud I pledge allegiance and I pledge it proud
Right On, just like my grandpa vowed, Right On

Although the world wants everything we’ve got, 
They pile upon us till we start to rot
But we can’t forget that we’re still free 
Or those white crosses left in Normandy
Right On, way back in Normandy, Right On

Right On, for the farmer’s hand, Right On, for our firemen
Right On, if you understand God and country
Right On, for our men in blue and for Thanksgiving and Park Avenue
Right On, bleed red, white and true, Right On

Right On, may our flag yet wave, 
Right On, for all our veterans and soldiers brave
Right On, for every life we gave, Right On
Right On, say the words out loud I pledge allegiance and I pledge it proud
Right On, just like my grandpa vowed, Right On
Right On, love it then and now, Right On

Right On

A simple message for the fast approaching Christmas Day, taking the time honored classic tune and adding a few other familiar elements to this folky, upbeat rendition. I want to dedicate this Christmas wish to all my SoundCloud friends but most especially my dear friend and awesome partner in musical crime, Nat Daniels. This one is a solo effort but it goes out to Nat. 
Merry Christmas!!!

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

This is a cover of the time honored Christmas classic that grew to particular popularity and meaning during WWII for American soldiers fighting far from home. Nat and I both love the song but we wanted to try something a little more lively while maintaining the ultimate melancholy of the words. We send this out with the hope that it reaches all our friends with its longing for home and the eternal loving spirit of Christmas. (Photo: Ralph Morse)

I'll Be Home For Christmas (Cover)

When my best friend moved back to West Virginia when I was still in elementary school, I knew I had to go visit the Mountain State that I had heard so much about. After several summer visits with my family I quickly found a sort of second home away from Connecticut where I've lived my entire life. The images of the town of Keyser, the people, the vast woodlands and easy going way of life really hit me and has never left. Since those early days I've returned with my own kids and they too got an idea of how I felt about "The Friendliest Town In The USA" as the sign plainly states as you drive into town on Route 220. This song is dedicated to Margaret and Richard Campbell, my friend's parents who are no longer with us, but have made a lasting impression of kindness, family values, tough love, backwoods wisdom and southern hospitality.

Update (2023): Many thanks to my esteemed music partner and friend, Nat Daniels, for re-mastering and producing the updated track for this song.

Lyrics:  
Keyser West Virginia by Craig Durgy

If you’re out some Sunday and you check your map
Headin’ south through Maryland and the Cumberland Gap
On Route 220 where the valley comes to view

You can smell that paper mill, miles away
As the road descends into the Mountain State
Past a parkin’ lot full of cars at the Chat n’ Chew

When you cross that bridge where the North Branch flows
And you see that sign that everyone knows
There ain’t no doubt it’s Keyser, and it’s true

That it’s the, friendliest town in the, friendliest town in the,
Friendliest town…in, Keyser West Virginia,
In the whole U.S.A. 

You can ride on down along New Creek Drive
Or take a golf cart ride at the Polish Pines
And on Green Mountain someone’s huntin’ for deer 

On Friday nights in the early fall
The Golden Tornado gonna move that ball
On Saturday they say how 'bout them 'eers!

Green tomatoes in a frying pan
String beans, bacon and chicken, man!
Or try some Stray Cat wings with a couple of beers. 

That it’s the, friendliest town in the, friendliest town in the,
Friendliest town…in, Keyser West Virginia,
In the whole U.S.A. 

Here in West Virginia, Lord you know I love this mountain state
Allegheny air gets in ya, 
And man those pines at Dolly Sods look great 

Some folks work at the ABL
West Vaco also pays pretty well
And Pot State College has lots to offer too

You can be a local or from out of town
Maybe up from Dallas or from Boston down
You'll get a wave from a lotta folks that ya never knew

And if you get the urge and the highway calls
Take a day trip down to Blackwater Falls
It’s West-By-God-Virginia, through and through!

That it’s the, friendliest town in the, friendliest town in the,
Friendliest town…in, Keyser West Virginia,
In the whole U.S.A.

Keyser West Virginia

Getting old makes me reflect.  Seeing family and friends pass on.  Seeing older people of my generation living their lives sometimes without the physical or mental capacity to remember, feel, love, seemly lost.  It is sad but that IS part of life.  IT'S OK 

Die Before I Die

An easy going country tune that tells the story of a guy whose girlfriend breaks things off because she has doubts about being confined in their relationship. He walks away but never gives up hope that she would want him back, and well...I don't want to give away the ending.
Many thanks to Nat Daniels (Gentle Rain Records) for her considerable production work that greatly improved the final track from my original recording.

Lyrics:The Last Time by Craig Durgy

Board the last train, for the last time
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline 

Breaking up, moving out
Gentle touch, no need to shout
We can see, what it's about
You need to be, free of all doubt 

Waking up, laying still, found the channel changer, lost my will
Writing letters, to myself, trying to gather, my mental health

I walk door-ward…you look forward

Board the last train, for the last time, 
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline 

Holding on, laying low
Winter gone, and I’m praying for snow
Crossed the train tracks, 1 A-M
Brings my thoughts back, to you again

Now and then I'd, make the trip, down your street I'd, quietly slip
Looking up, window light, who was in your, arms tonight?

Afraid of knocking…keep on walking. 

Board the last train, for the last time
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline 

But sometimes when you, keep hope alive
Something happens, making it right
Ringing phone, your voice I hear
Saying please come home and,
Wipe away my tears

I'm headed door-ward…we're moving forward

Board the last train, for the last time
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline 

Board the last train, for the last time
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline (repeat)

WE KNOW MUSCLE SHOALS
THEY HAD THE SWAMPERS
THEY HAD MUSIC IN THEIR SOULS
MAN, THEY WERE KEEPERS

THEY CAME FROM FAR AND NEAR
LOOKING FOR THAT SWEET SOUND
TO UNDERSTAND YOU HAD TO LIVE HERE
THEY WERE BAMA BOUND
CAUSE THEY WERE BAMA BOUND

Chorus
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THEY GO HAND AND HAND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUDDY WATER BRINGS OUT THE BEST
YEA, IT BRINGS OUT THE BEST

THEY EVEN CAME FROM FAR AWAY
TO GRAB THAT SOUND
MAN, THEY SURE HAD SOME FUN
LAYING THEM TRACKS DOWN

IT AIN'T NASHVILLE, HOSS... NEW YORK OR LA. 
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MUD 
ROLLING DOWN THAT RIVER EVERYDAY
MUSIC WAS THEIR ANCHOR

(REPEAT CHORUS )

Tennessee River Music - ReMix - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Riff Beach - Original

An original written , composed and presented by Gary McMahon and myself.  We had the help of two great musicians (Josh McAlexander and Lawrence Farr) who brought the lyrics to life with their great voices.  I can't tell you how much I appreciate all of you guys for a great job.  Gary and his families lost their homes in the Paradise, CA fires recently and having a rough time.  We all keep him in our thoughts and pray.  
Lyrics:
Christmas night is here, and the skies seem so crystal clear
And the star that shown so bright, so long ago still shines tonight
A mother holds her child, wise men bow down a world reconciled
( May the warmth from that star that flows
Set your heart aglow
May that star lead you home)
Loved ones all are near, tinsel and lights hang for good cheer
And atop of that Christmas tree, we place a star for all to see
Love can open your eyes, for one, for all, our Christmas sky
And in our hearts there will be, that star that shines eternally.

The Star (Gary McMahon,Josh McAlexander,Lawrence Farr,Chuck Aaron)

LYRICS:
The day arrives with a bright sunrise
And the cold is crisp and calling
What a grand surprise to cast my eyes
On a Christmas snow that’s falling

Lucy stoke the fire, to your heart’s desire
And I will tend to the horses
For this is the day, to celebrate
The Lord’s eternal forces

Blessed Father, joyous children
We’ll gather in his name
We will sing and play, on this Christmas Day
And his glory shall proclaim  

Set the table fine, with ale and wine
And  cider for the younger
Bow our heads in prayer, to thank Him here
For shelter and no hunger

Willie fetch your pipes, when the time is right
And I will play my fiddle
To the Christmas sounds, we will circle round
And dance about the middle

Blessed Father, joyous children
We’ll gather in his name
We will sing and play, on this Christmas Day
And his glory shall proclaim

Christmas Home

Lyrics:
Christmas Wish by Daniels & Durgy

Can you see the wonder in a falling leaf
The miracle of every day in all the things you see
Look at all the children laugh and play with ease
They paint their lives in colors of love and joy and peace 

Oh can we hold each other can we truly see, 
The love in one another that starts with you and me.. 
And so it comes full circle on this Christmas Eve 
Oh love is still the greatest to give and to receive..

A loving smile can heal you like a warm embrace 
Love is all that matters and all that leads to Grace 
Are we not all destined to be loving souls?
For once we shed this mortal coil we join the same unknown

So it comes full circle and giving thanks I pray
You’ll all love one another beyond this Christmas Day 
All it takes kindness, a truly selfless deed,
To change the world forever and bring us Holy peace
Oh love is all that matters
come take my hand ... it’s up to you and me.

The Christmas Wish

..........you will love this song. You hardly need to sit in front of a large open fire as the music creates a warmth that you can almost feel. The gentle percussive beat adds to the cosy, homely feel. (Reviews Unlimited)

The wind and rain are here again, winter is settling in,
Put on your scarves and gloves to dress for the cold and stop you from shivering.

Winter days and winter nights, shorter days so turn on the lights.
Ice and snow will come along and stay for a while and then be gone,
Approaching time of seasonal cheer, that marks the end of another year,
It marks the end of another year,

The outside temperatures have dropped, the water is starting to freeze,
There’s icicles hanging from the porch, the trees are bare of leaves,

Winter days and winter nights, shorter days so turn on the lights.
Ice and snow will come along and stay for a while and then be gone,
Approaching times of seasonal cheer, that marks the end of another year,
It marks the end of another year,

We’re sitting in front of a large open fire, no matter that the weather’s severe,
These cold winter nights have a place of their own so near to the end of the year,

Winter days and winter nights, shorter days so turn on the lights.
Ice and snow will come along and stay for a while and then be gone,
Approaching times of seasonal cheer, that mark the end of another year,
It marks the end of another year,
