My musical Christmas gift to you – 2009
December 24th, 2009 | music
Over the years my Christmas mixtapes have made the transition from CD to virtual creations. They fall into two distinct themes in honor of the contradictory states many folks fall into during the holidays. One captures the warm and fuzzy sounds of the season while the other vacillates from despair to bewilderment.
No matter where you landed on the emotional scale this year, I hope you enjoy them both.
