Two years ago today, I was writing about the Virginia Women’s Chorus Candlelight Christmas album.
Three years ago today, I unleashed one of my most recent Christmas playlists, “Tinsel covered Christmas blues.” You can check out my Christmas playlists (three hours worth!) on SoundCloud today if you want to have some music to wrap presents by:
Fifteen years ago, I wrote about some Glee Club research (I was still putting the history together and hadn’t started writing Ten Thousand Voices). “The impracticability of carrying out successfully any college enterprise without the cordial support of all the students!” Indeed.
Sixteen years ago, I posted a handful of pointers to some useful Excel statistical tricks, and some intriguing looking font games that alas don’t seem to be around any more. Sic transit gloria mundi.
Seventeen years ago, some useful networking tips and tricks and more links to a bunch of stuff including wishes for Larry Grogan at Funky16Corners. Larry no longer posts to that blog but is still doing radio shows for WFMU. Respect.
Twenty years ago, I had just finished my very first run of Holiday Pops with the Boston Pops and we were hosting my sister for Christmas.
Twenty-one years ago, I was apologizing for not blogging. I had missed three days. If only I knew… More or less the same message twenty-two years ago.
And twenty-two years ago, I was eulogizing Joe Strummer.
That I’m still writing on this blog all these years later still feels like something of a Christmas miracle to me, even if the frequency has diminished and the word count per post has gone way up. Hope you all have great holidays! There will be at least one more post between now and the end of the year.
