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
