CiJ 2025-Day 9

Day 9, nothing really special about day 9 I'm afraid. I'll point you to the selection by Bette Stalnecker today, not for the special lyrics she created for the classic White Christmas, but for the fact that I ripped her contributions a couple of years ago but forgot to share them. The LP popped up in my collection recently and looked really familiar, but I couldn't find where I had ever shared the tracks. I eventually discovered an old rip in my collection and I must have forgotten to put it in the Christmas In July folder that year. I wonder how many other songs I've missed out on over the past twenty years because I didn't put it in the correct folder. I bet it's a non-zero number. But I've got it corrected this year, you can now listen to her at-times masculine voice over and over again. Oh, I also wanted to point out the Mannheim Steamroller link in one of the arrangement sampler albums. There's not much of note in most of those, but I thought it kind of funny that they made a big deal about using Chip Davis' arrangement. Enjoy!
