29 Oct 05 - 02:40 PM (#1593251) Subject: Christmas Tune Req: Tom Tomson - Silent Night From: GUEST,starfishian I'm looking for an arrangement of Silent Night by Tom Tomson - believe it's a Canadian recording. The optimist in me hopes to find a digital recording (can't fnd much more than a vinyl 45 on line, but I have no turntable). Can anyone help me with some background on it, or point me to a recording or sheet music or cassette tape ? Thanks! |

I'm surprised it actually posted. I don't think it's Tom Jackson, Bob - but a good thought, nonetheless! |

30 Oct 05 - 12:25 AM (#1593569) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Tom Tomson - Silent Night From: Bard Judith The two translation programs I use are less than helpful but are entertaining... their versions provided below just for fun. Unfortunately my Dutch is very old-fashioned and not at all colloquial (as apparently is the translation program's), however, I suspect Starfishian's first guess is correct, though - not very helpful, eh? However, if you emailed Erik (in English, as most Netherlanders can speak/read/write it) and explained what you are looking for, he might very well be able to record from his 'plaatjes' and send you a digital version. Worth a try, innit? For the record (pun intended): "Zoek je favo plaat uit en mail hem naar Erik van Vliet en vermeld je naam en evt tel nr en op welke cd die staat en waarom je die plaat wilt horen(Klik hier voor veel covers van plaatjes)" is what the site says. Rendered by Worldlingo as: "You him to Erik van Vliet and mentions you name and evt tel no. zoek favo plate from and mail and on which cd that state and why you that plate wants horen(Klik here for many covers of plaatjes)" and by Babelfish as: "You him to Erik van Vliet and mentions you name and evt tel no. zoek favo plate from and mail and on which cd that state and why you want that plate horen(Klik here for many covers of plaatjes)Of here for Eriks Platenkelder part 2 here cupboard 3" Dear me. Sounds illegal! |

30 Oct 05 - 03:58 PM (#1593731) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Tom Tomson - Silent Night From: Peace Now that we've cleared THAT up. However, there is an excellent suggestion from Judith: e-mail the guy. |

30 Oct 05 - 07:47 PM (#1593884) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Tom Tomson - Silent Night From: starfishian I'll drop him a line - I have a few co-workers from the Netherlands, and I was going to ask one of them to translate for me tomorrow! (I had a similarly unhelpful translation from Babelfish, which should be mortified by their Dutch to English non-service!). Good idea, Judith - maybe he'll send me a file even if he normally only plays it on the radio. Thanks for your help too, Peace. Wish me luck! |

It was the most requested Christmas tune. Absolutely beautiful version of Silent Night...guitar solo. Amazing! Would love to find a copy, or be able to download it. |
