The show, which includes a set of audience participation caroling along with Jim soloing in his inimitable \u00e2\u20ac\u0153high lonesome\u00e2\u20ac\u009d tenor, is a true community tradition that has never been recorded. For this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s show on Dec. 22, I am leading an effort to have the show professionally recorded as a community archive and for possible future release of a not-for-profit recording. To make this happen, I have to raise $1,000 for good quality professional recording. If you are interested in contributing, send a check to The Cave, 452 1\/2 W. Franklin St., Chapel Hill, NC 27516, with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Christmas Sing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in the memo line. This is not a tax-deductible contribution; it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just a great opportunity to hold on to a precious tradition by one of our finest (and funnest) local treasures. Come on down that night; for only $7, you can be a part of the fun.<\/p>\n<p>Blair Pollock<br \/>\n<em>Chapel Hill<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For more than 25 years, Chapel Hill\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s own Jim Watson, a founder of the Red Clay Ramblers and renowned old-time musician, has held an annual \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Christmas Sing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d at The Cave, Chapel Hill\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s oldest tavern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-opinion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22398"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22398\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22401,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22398\/revisions\/22401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
