This Is The End, My Friend

There doesn't seem to be any consensus on who coined the phrase "All Good Things Must Come To An End." I thought it was Shakespeare, but he didn't. Chaucer wrote something fairly close, but not in so many words. I remember when ST:TNG reached is finale, the last episode was titled All Good Things, so it's a well-worn phrase even if there's no strict origin of it. But so it is with the 2024 Christmas sharity season. I've drawn it out much longer than necessary but I think it's been good stuff. Today is the exception that proves the rule as there is nothing in today's share that you really need, but the completists out there will appreciate it. This is everything that was left in the pile, and it's mostly mono versions of things I already gave to you in stereo. There are a few edits here and again you got the longer version already. There's one track here that's just a backwards version of the flip side and one short spoken word introduction to another track that I couldn't fit in elsewhere. I even squeezed in a Christmas greeting that's just instructions on how to use another Christmas greetings. So it's all just to finish off the collection with all the stuff that I didn't share elsewhere. I've had a great season and I hope you have too. So many singles, I don't think I'll ever be able to top this season. Well, maybe in twenty years when I've collected up enough new singles to do it all again. Here's hoping. Thanks for playing along, I hope you found something to listen to. I'll see you again in July, I hope. That pile is still thin, but these records have a way of finding me sometimes, so I'm optimistic. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
