Your Daily Dose of CHRISTMAS!!!
Complete the sentence: I love ____ and yet I don’t partake enough of it! For me, it’s vocal music. I tend to strongly default to orchestral music for my usual listening, and there’s not anything exactly wrong with that…after all, there is … Continue reading

Speaking of “Lucky finds by the YouTube algorithm”, we have this wonderful rendition of one of my absolute favorite Christmas songs of all time. AND, it has the correct lyrics! (I won’t repeat the rant this year, but if you’re … Continue reading
