Hello 2022!

Hello! And let me be among the first to welcome you to 2022! Here in the future, we don't have to worry about all the things that troubled us in 2021, or 2020 before that. Well, who am I kidding? By the time you read this, it'll be the present, or even the past, and I'm sure nothing much will have changed. But as a sign of my faith in 2022, I'm going to start a new series. I'm going to try to post a new set of Christmas music from 78s sourced from the Internet Archive every Saturday in 2022! We'll see how long I can keep that up, but it seems like a reasonable goal. I had a bunch downloaded for the 2021 Christmas season, but I didn't have them all tagged and ready to go at the start of the season, and it takes a long time to do all that, so I wound up sharing exactly two songs from 78 during the season. I've got plenty of them in the pile now to last a while, and I'm working on more every day. No reason I can't keep this series up for a while with minimal trouble. I may need a bit of encouragement once in a while, so be sure to leave me a comment now and then, please. No rhyme or reason to what's coming, just a big pile of records. As I did in 2020, I'm just going to load up the scans so you can see what's in the pile. I'm too lazy to type it all in (which I will regret later when I can't find things, but so be it). Ten sides per post, unless there's some reason for a different number. Watch and see how I do!  Here's the first set, enjoy! And happy 2022!
