32-Christmas Classics

I'm changing pace just a little bit with this share. First off, it's the second share of the day because the first one was so small. Second, it's all classic Christmas songs that you've probably known and loved your entire life. There're no unknown songs here, though I hope the versions are a little bit new to you, perhaps by artists you didn't know about, or didn't know they recorded these songs. It's a good little collection, I know you'll enjoy it. As always, the original 78 rips are care of The Internet Archive, all I'm doing here is curating the collection and cleaning up the recordings a little bit.

  1. Excellent. It'll go well with my mixing and matching and burning
    to disk.

  2. You're still burning things to disc? I haven't done that for a while now, though once in a while I'll put a pile of stuff on a disc to listen to in the car. Someday, I'll get a new car that will play from my phone or stream. Someday...

    Merry Christmas to you and yours!
