i know i’m a little late, but i wanted to say merry christmas to my 2, maybe 3, readers out there!

it’s been an ok holiday season. i know money’s not everything, but i really love buying gifts for people to open on christmas - since money’s tight this year, i didn’t do so well in the giving…

i did manage to transfer my mom and dad’s favorite christmas record (yes, record, as in vinyl) to cd - clicks and pops and all! it’s called “christmas fanfare” on london recordings and it’s been out of print for many years - it was made in 1980. i think they should release it on cd ’cause it’s really beautiful. and it brought back a ton of memories of past christmases. so i guess that’s a pretty cool thing to give… especially since my parents haven’t had a turntable in like a bazillion years!

i’ll give the recording a going over with a click and pop filter someday. it’s amazing what you can do with a sound editor and a few plugins these days!
