Your Daily Dose of Christmas
It’s always interesting to see what loves we carry forward that our parents gave us, and which we don’t share with them. My mother loved musicals; she grew up with the great musicals of 1950s and 1960s Hollywood (my father … Continue reading
Shiny in the Black: A FIREFLY Christmas
I used to re-post this annually, but I lost track of it at some point. I think it deserves being brought back, because it’s good and I like it! If FIREFLY had ever done a Very Special Christmas Episode, I … Continue reading

Your Daily Dose of Christmas
I’ve had a really busy day, so I’ll just keep it short and sweet. This one needs no introduction whatsoever, right?

Your Daily Dose of Christmas
Speaking of my friend Robert John Guttke, he also loved the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams. Vaughan Williams’s eternally-fascinating blend of modern symphonic sounds and instrumental writing, combined with his fascination with English folksong and melodies dating back to the … Continue reading
