Thread Name: Lyr Req: I'll Telephone to Santa Claus
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Telephone and Tell Old Mr. Santa Claus
For Christmas 2014 I have produced a version of "I'll telephone to Santa Claus" [called "A Christmas Song" - since there seem to be countless versions throughout the world!], for our [five] grandsons in WA, Vic and NSW - in Oz. The 'book' contains 29 colour illustrations. My attempts at transcribing the music is included as well. From a third-generation-remembered passed-down-the-families interpretation of someone's grandma's vaguely-remembered version of the original tune [presumably], via an out-of-tune-piano, with only rudimentary musical know-how, the exercise was fraught with dangers, no doubt. But at least it will be something concrete for our grandsons to pass some-more-generations-down the Christmas Family Celebration Line.
