CiJ 2025-Day 2

And just like that, we're two days into the Christmas in July fun! Thanks to everyone who showed up yesterday for day one. I'm sure folks will keep trickling in all month but there's a special place in my heart for the folks who've been waiting for this to begin and chime in on day one. So thanks for that! As I'm sure you noticed by now, I've made a small change to the sharity package. I was able to take a few minutes per album and snap a quick photo of it before I filed it away never to be seen again. Previously I didn't share an image with the file because I knew it would take too long to scan and stitch things together. This year I figured a quick crooked snapshot with my phone was good enough. So just ignore the deficiencies in the pictures and enjoy the fact that they exist. Some of these old records are going to be hard to find out there on the WWW, so this may be the only image available. So what have I got for you today? I think the best thing in the pile is a short winter-themed song by no less a name than Carl Sandburg! You'll have to download the whole pile for that one little song, but it's worth your trouble, trust me. I think it's a safe bet that none of your friends have ever heard Carl Sandburg sing!

    1. You're quick on the draw, but you're still stuck in last month. But that's OK, I'm still writing 2023 on my checks, or at least I would if I still used checks...

  2. I am one day behind on your posts somehow. I see you have a Carl Sandburg LP I've not encountered before. Thanks!

    1. Nor had I, so I was thrilled to find something on it I could use.

  3. Ernie, yet again we all benefit from your ceaseless efforts. Many thanks for all your hard work.
    Now I just have to get this FLAC thing sorted without losing all the tags.
