Hi Ernie, thanks for the extra share.
ReplyDeleteI will continue to collect what shares that interest me. However, I will only listen to a few selections, maybe 3-4 of them, every Wednesday from now on. This is my once a week day for listening to Christmas music.
If I run out of current shares, as I know you will be stopping at some point, I have your Best of Collections to listen too.
So, I will post any comments on either Wednesday or Thursday.
I have over 100 albums and collections of non-Christmas music and stories I need to start listening to. These are a wide variety of genre's.
I don't know if anyone else is listening as actively as you at this point, so thanks for your continued fanaticism. But like you say, I need to wind it up soon anyway.
DeleteErnie you said, "The High Point in question here appears to be in New Jersey. I was hoping it was in North Carolina, but that doesn't appear to be the case." Why, do you not like North Carolina? Just kidding.
DeleteThis is just, mind you, passible.
For some reason, I will not look it up, but something sounds very odd about this school? At least the kids had spunk to be involved?
My parents are from NC, I have nothing against it. I suspect you're hearing the NJ accent in there, just a guess. :)
DeleteAnd I think NC is one of the states I need for my Christmas records from 50 states list.
A few days ago, you asked about me not commenting on a German album.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I almost never download any share sung in any foreign language.
I only downloaded the Heintje Christmas English album because it was one of the very first albums, all my own that I was given. Besides, it had the Cowboy Carol on it. As I wrote, this song is very important to me.
Plus there are a few other shares I have past over. Just look at all the Military shares I past over, and then found out how much I did enjoy them after I did finally did download them.
You might be making a mistake, could be the best stuff you've ever heard. Or not... :)
DeleteThe cover appears to be hand-lettered, which is interesting with the use of the gothic font.
ReplyDeleteYes, Buster... the cover definetly looks unique :)
DeleteWhen I was in High School, and College... I used write a lot (for special events) using caligraphy :)
DeleteI remember getting one of those pen sets as a Christmas gift one year. I thought I could write all fancy, but I don't think think I was really very good at it. I like the fancy but homemade look of this hand-lettered cover.
DeleteErnie, I guess you were not either an Art Major/Minor or you just did not take the art class that taught you all forms of writing in its various forms. Caligraphy, Block, Hand Type, Print, Writing, etc. were just parts of the course. Besides, you were graded on your work.
DeleteNope, art was never my thing. I barely learned to write in cursive. I can certainly read it, but I don't like to write it since I can barely read it back. Most of what I write is in some weird for of block capitals that comes from a drafting class many years ago. And it's still hard to read. :)
DeleteThis is very strange to me.
DeleteBecause when I first learned to write, I was about 3 years of age, print, then writing, e.g., cursive or joined-up writing, I could do so by Kinder Garten.
My mother had learned this early too.
Anyway, when it came to my schooling, I was bored because other kids were learning this, and I was so far advanced.
That being said, almost everything I write today, for good or bad, is cursive or joined-up writing.
I just heard on YouTube and read on the internet, that cursive or joined-up writing is rarely taught anymore. Like what the hell?
This makes sense. My neighbors 18.5 son, in 12th grade, all of his homework is in a printed script. I could not believe this when I saw it. But at least a teacher can hopefully read it, I could.
Cursive is rarely used today, everything is typed on a keyboard which has little or nothing to do with cursive. Even the selection of fonts seems to be dwindling down to whatever is easily machine-readable. Not sure how people who don't write cursive sign their name?
DeleteCursive never went that well for me. I've been writing with block capitals since junior high or maybe earlier. For all those many years, my signature has been in block capitals. On signed documents from me, The "Sign your name" and "Print your name" lines always look very similar.
DeleteI have meet so many people from all over this world, and Cursive is either a hit or a miss. So many of them just print.
DeleteI was able to do Cursive by 5 years of age, my name and simple sentences. This was only because my mother taught me, and she came from an 100% Irish background and Catholic school upbringing. What was good enough for her, was good enough for my elder sisters and myself. At least, I never got my hand smacked with a ruler like she did.
Almost everything I put down on paper is in Cursive, with an odd letter in print.
Yeah, I tend to write everything in block capital letters, though over the years it's lost a lot of it's blockiness. Still all caps though, just different heights for upper and lower case. Pretty rare I write a lower-case letter, but sometimes, like if I'm writing down a password so there's less confusion.
DeleteWhen I write in Cursive, as in using a pen or pencil, every letter is correct as can be, e.g. Upper and Lower cases.
DeleteOn the other hand, when I type out something, everything is in Lower case. Depending on the recipient, I then have to go back and use Upper case as needed. The reason for this is, I know someone who got mad at me typing in Upper case. For Germans, at least for him, using Upper case is another form of screaming at him. So now, everything I type is Lower case.
You're a lot more anal about it than I am... And yes, all upper case is shouting. Don't do it. Also, don't type the message in the subject line, that's not where it goes.
Deleteyour spot on about me being anal. but i was brought up this way.
Deleteit is also about me being a capricorn.
i rarely fill in the subject in my emails, why bother. i have to rebell some how.
like when i went to uni. besides always dressing to impress and being color coordinated (i still am), i had a habit of not wearing shoes in a few of my art classes.
I remember walking one night at university from my dorm room all the way to the science and engineering library, which was a really long way. Felt weird to be walking around the library barefoot, but I survived. I rarely wore shoes when I was at home growing up, so I had really tough feet. Sandspurs were my mortal enemy, and still are. If I walk by a sandspur plant, I'll stop and pull it up most of the time still, 40-some years later.
DeleteI'm enjoying these church choir records, especially when they have songs and/or arrangements I'm not familiar with. Thanks as always.
ReplyDeleteThat's the beauty of these self-released albums, there's plenty of stuff on here that was never released commercially, you just have to dig a little.
