I suppose you’d think that experience makes things easier, yes? But you know – listening to MORE Christmas music… actually makes it quite hard. You become a tougher customer and find things that surprise you less. Sometimes you find your lane has narrowed, and everything is starting to sound the same. I tried to break out of that a bit this year, with a few sounds I’m not really known for. Whether that works or not, well, that is not for me to decide. I like them all, so I’m cool, but I do try to share with some folks with the hopes that it’ll hit with a few of them. There’s certainly a lot to like here with some songs I’ve already raved about, and a few I sure need to. Malcolm Gladwell has that whole thing about 10,000 hours is the magic number of greatness. Well, by that metric, this one should be fantastic. Ah, we’ll see.
Merry Christmas!
