Welcome to Holly Jukebox 2020!

Today's second tune is for the beautiful and kind Helen, with the request being sent in by John (aka AP Coleson) 💙 Thank you, wonderful people, for being in my life and for supporting this daft challenge!

Oh goodness me, well where do I start? Comfort zone chucked out the window, nigh on impossible key to sing in, symphony orchestra arrangement to try and translate to an acoustic guitar... this was pretty tough! But what a beautiful, soothing tune this turned out to be once I got my head around it! John tells me it's in a favourite film, and brings back memories of a wonderful holiday he and Helen took - and I think the melody definitely evokes a kind of classy vintage sound! Hope you like anyhoo 🙂

For the guitarists - I'm playing in standard tuning and I've made up the chords, so if you want to have a go then you'll have to follow my fingers!

WHAT'S HOLLY JUKEBOX?
Now somewhat of a Christmas tradition in my house, the Holly Jukebox Challenge is a self-imposed charity song marathon between 1st - 25th December.

The deal: In exchange for a donation to York Mind, I take song requests from my family & friends & supporters in the month leading up to the challenge, then upload a request every day in December to my YouTube channel (   / hollytaymar  ) and Facebook & Instagram (@hollytaymar)

The reason I do this is to:

1. Keep me out of mischief in the big bad Winter

2. Spread some festive cheer and hopefully a few laughs as I try and get to grips with all manner of requests

3. Raise some much needed cash for awesome local charity York Mind!

I think we can all agree that 2020 has tried it's best to batter our collective mental (and physical) health, and I'm super-excited to kick this year where it hurts by doing something good and raising as much as I can to help folks who are really struggling.

You can find out how my incredible colleagues at York Mind are supporting people in York, find info and self-refer for help, here: http://www.yorkmind.org.uk

If you'd like to make a donation towards my fundraising, please do so here: http://www.justgiving.com/HollyJukebo...

The song request calendar is now FULL for December 2020 - so if you haven't got a request in, sadly I'm not taking any more - but please feel free to follow my progress on YouTube if you like!

Thanks everyone!
