The spirit of Christmas is giving, both in the Christian religious sense, and the prosperous Victorian-American sense. One is seeking the light of the world, one is seeking lights, getting lit, and finding the right gift. <br /> Both are well represented in your vast trove, as well as the instrumental, the stirring, the over-arranged and odd-ball curve. <br /> As Mary and I are in our sixties, we are the hipsters, the hippies, the kids who lived the 50's fight of the formats, as 78's, 45's and LP's tumbled by us, plus tape (and yes, I had a Webcor wire recorder!) ... well, we've seen it all, and heard it all.<br /> But wait. There's more. You know that, and in this Thanksgiving missive, you've nailed the collector's spirit of hunter/gather that perhaps dwells within us all, but some are moved, and some wait for the lucky strike.<br /> Your site, Ernie, is that Lucky Strike, where god and polished silver, and even some brass, becomes a treasure trove.<br /> SO, you catch my drift, and snowmen, and the little glass balls with visions of dancing bears and rosebuds... all our musical Christmas memories wrapped up in a great big package.<br /><br />Merry CHristmas, and A Happy New Year! Again, and again, and again, like a needle trapped at the end of a good record. <br /><br />Best Wishes,<br /><br />Den NC USADenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13335774715462767381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11600065.post-9969961119098108722012-11-26T19:02:10.733-05:002012-11-26T19:02:10.733-05:00I was in NJ helping with recovery from Hurricane S...I was in NJ helping with recovery from Hurricane Sandy, and finally got back home today...
