Took my words haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-music-in-late-january#post-2853380 Thu, 25 Oct 2018 18:59:47 +0000 Hypatia 2853380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kaohinani: Aw, thanks! I actually play a 26 string lap harp, and it can be carried on my shoulder, so I don’t have to bring it on it’s own dolly or anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-music-in-late-january#post-2853373 Thu, 25 Oct 2018 17:52:49 +0000 Kaohinani 2853373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hypatia: I think your trimmed down version works. Harp music is lovely and it isn't every day that one sees a harpist busking (* as that is one heavy instrument to tote even on wheels!). I would certainly tip well based on your instrumental selection and music. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-music-in-late-january#post-2853310 Thu, 25 Oct 2018 14:27:19 +0000 PurplePeony 2853310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: same! If I had my way, Christmas music would be limited to the day after Thanksgiving through the first week in January. It drives me nuts to hear it in October. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-music-in-late-january#post-2853289 Thu, 25 Oct 2018 13:27:11 +0000 rattles 2853289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: see, I don’t get this! I get so annoyed by having to listen to Christmas music before its even Halloween/Thanksgiving but then not being able to listen at all during the twelve days of Christmas! :silly: </p> <p>I do think past the first week of January, I’d stick to winter/non seasonal music. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-music-in-late-january#post-2853280 Thu, 25 Oct 2018 13:16:49 +0000 Mrsbells 2853280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>January 28th is way too late for xmas songs in my opinion </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-music-in-late-january#post-2853185 Thu, 25 Oct 2018 08:59:36 +0000 Hypatia 2853185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, guys! It’s looking pretty conclusive. It must have been wishful thinking on my part. :silly: </p> <p>I think I’ll try to do a trimmed down version of what I’d planned for this spring.</p> <p>Chanter’s Tune<br /> Fields of Gold<br /> Lavenders Blue<br /> Beauty and the Beast<br /> Over the Rainbow<br /> Skye Boat Song<br /> Game of Thrones theme<br /> Hallelujah<br /> Stairway to Heaven<br /> Into the West (Lord of the Rings) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-music-in-late-january#post-2853143 Thu, 25 Oct 2018 04:28:14 +0000 erinbaderin 2853143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Christmas music, it can’t start soon enough for me, but I think you have to stop the Christmas songs basically on December 26. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-music-in-late-january#post-2853142 Thu, 25 Oct 2018 03:48:13 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2853142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably would think you are a little late with the season, but there are some Christmas songs I love to hear year-round like Baby It’s Cold Outside that would still be appropriate for January. The season for Carol of the Bells does not extend to practically Feb IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-music-in-late-january#post-2853137 Thu, 25 Oct 2018 00:41:45 +0000 Hypatia 2853137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know, I know—it isn’t even Halloween yet. But I’m asking because I absolutely have to plan ahead! </p> <p>I will be busking during the month of December with my harp (busking means playing on the sidewalk for tips) I’m still a novice, so pretty much all the songs I know have been chosen with plans to busk around Christmas.</p> <p>I would also like to busk during a five day winter festival that happens the last week of January. But it would be hard to learn a whole new set in time, if I don’t do Christmas songs. I mean, it’s possible...just really difficult. But I want to make the most money I can, so it might be worth it. </p> <p>If you walked by a harpist playing Christmas music on January 28, would you think it’s way past its time? If people think that, they will be less likely to tip, so I would definitely want a different set of songs in that case! What do you think? </p>
