High Times

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. Enjoy!

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.
DeleteA 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.
I'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.
