Listening to music on Christmas day
Our new tradition is to listen to some of our records and CDs instead of WQXR or WCRB - classical music stations - that play too much Christmas stuff. The first 4 in this list were CDs, the rest were records. A couple of them are not in good shape even after cleaning.
