Bouton's stuff, Volume 2

[Gare]

Many hours.

:)

But not as many hours as Bouton's 6th Annual Christmas Music Album!
(What a cheesy lead-in!)

Neither Barbara nor I have the disposable income to press scores music CDs this year, so the next best thing was to set up a standalone page on our website to serve as a download target.

The Details, IOW why you should bother with a 60MB download:

•On and off, I started in September to arrange or find arrangements on the web, to orchestrate, record, and then mix 20 Christmas songs, from 16th Century to jazz treatment of standards. If you've heard the other albums over the years, you'll know I've been sincere and diligent in my attempt to spread good cheer.

• By making them mp3 files, you can not only play them on your desktop, but also sych them to your phones, for travel, or stick them on a USB stick if your car has a jack.

All you do is go to
theboutons.com/2018xmasmusic,

click the button that has the smiley, accept the download in the d'box, and when it's arrived, pop the zip file, bring up WinAmp or whatever (AIMP kicks butt), crank it up to 11 (:)) and get salubrious.




Happy Holidays to Everybody!

You set me up!

You were tipped over?

[Boy]

No, it's just a dance.

And what a dance it is.... (chuckle)

There's one cut names "Skating".

My good friend and career-long Technical Editor Professor William Schneider (I get to call him Bill) wrote to me telling me that was the first cut to which he'd listened. This is why, from a tutorial on photo retouching quite a while ago:




Bill just loves ice skating, so I thought a good, personal skating rink for him might be those kidney-shaped turtle ponds.

Fool Disclosure: The tune is from "A Charlie Brown Christmas", where Lucy, Linus and friends are ice skating. Not a "true" Christmas song, blah, blah.
