CHRISTMAS

The Winter Solstice, Christmas, and soon the new year....and as I grow older, ellusive time flies by with an impossible pace.

A Christmas sentiment?

All I can wish for you and your loved ones are

BLESSINGS, PEACE, AND CONTENTMENT.

As if you hadn't already been assaulted with enough holiday music, I'm offering more. Nothing special, just two of my humble musical Christmas cards. I post these every year.

 I recorded White Christmas long ago on a cassette tape, that was eventually moldy and rotting in the garage. I repaired the tape, edited it and transferred it to a mp3 file simply to save it. Then I made the video.

The second video ( Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas)  was filmed on an ancient Sony camcorder when I lived in Texas. The camera was much too close to the piano, which distorted the audio.

Fascinating information for Christmas, huh?

What could be more exciting than my music and AI pictures? Please don't throw your fruitcakes at me!

My Christmas Eve was far less than magical, it's rather too unnerving to discuss.

After a few more AIs, I'll quietly take my leave.

HUMBUG WITH AUDIO ENHANCEMENTS

 

I'm not in a holiday mood.
 In fact, my sentiments coincide with those of Scrooge:
"Every idiot who goes about with a 'Merry Christmas' on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart."

People are forcing themselves to comply with fake holiday cheer and indulge in worthless seasonal rituals that empty pockets and sap  energy. 

I've dug into dusty music files and extracted a couple of my piano videos in order to evoke a smidgen of holiday enthusiasm.

My uncanny blogger intuition tells me that nobody likes my piano videos.
Well, tough crap.
I'm damn good.
Or at the very least, possibly reasonably good.
