Happy New Year, friends! Here is your invitation to our 2015 Seasons New Year party ... here in the great state of New Jersey!
Our theme this week is my beloved home state of New Jersey. Bring us a song about and/or mentioning New Jersey, and/or a person, place, or thing associated with New Jersey ... or a song by a New Jersey artist. There are heaps of terrific songs in both categories.
Bonus points (just for fun – they don’t “count” for anything other than coolness – probably) for doing a New Jersey song by a New Jersey artist – in other words, one that fits both categories. There are lots of these – living in New Jersey seems to inspire that in many of us. I myself have written several. And yeah, there’s plenty of irreverent humor in most New Jersey songs – we love to poke fun at ourselves and our state – and you are welcome to do the same. What exit?!
Bonus points too to the first person to list all the songs I quoted in my opening song.
It’s my special joy this week to also introduce you to my many talented friends. I live in New Jersey, and I know a whole lot of really amazing brilliant songwriters and musicians you’ve probably never heard. So this week is my chance to share them with you – I hope some of you will discover some new favorites and maybe cover some of these terrific folks. I’ll love that, they’ll love that, and of course, if you make a happy new discovery, you’ll love it. It’s a party, so come meet some new friends!
No limits, no restrictions ... you and your uke are welcome as you are ... and if you like adding music and video tracks and other cool stuff, that’s fun too. Dress and decorate for a party, or come as you are. You can also do songs about the New Year, if you wish.
I especially encourage collaborating – with other Seasonistas, with new first-time Seasonistas especially, friends, relatives, strangers off the streets – it’s a party – the more the merrier! Invite everyone you know! Or come make some new friends. Or come alone. Just come – it’s gonna be great.
And yeah, as the last line of my opening song states – Thornton Rule (this week it’s the Sinatra Rule) applies. If you are moved to do something that doesn’t quite fit – just come to the party however you wish. I want you here more than I care how you come.
Come as early as you like and stay as late as you please ... it’s New Year’s, it’s a party! Okay, not too early or late – here’s the actual timing:
It’s an eight-day party ... you can post any time between 12:00:01am Hawaii time tonight (December 28, 2014) and 11:59:59pm Hawaii time next Sunday (January 4, 2015).
In other words, we start Sunday morning December 28th in most parts of the world – 2am Sunday morning Pacific time, 5am Eastern time, 10am in the UK, 11am in most of Europe, Sunday afternoon or evening in Australasia.
We end eight full days later, Monday morning January 4th in most parts of the world – 2am Monday morning Pacific time, 5am Eastern time, 10am in the UK, 11am in most of Europe, Monday afternoon or evening in Australasia.
Season 149 continues until 11:59:59pm Hawaii time Sunday the 28th – so you can still enter over there. If you enter on Sunday, please feel free to enter your video in both Seasons ... I love double entries! (Since Season 149 host Myrna has made double-Seasons entries herself, I’m guessing she’s fine with it too.)
