Just a final reminder that the climax of alternative advent calendar, with all of the month’s songs should be live on the other blog as you read this. There are actually 26 songs with a decidedly secular theme, concentrating on winter and aspects of the season other than the Nativity. All the songs are together in one audio player so just click play and sit back and enjoy… Whatever your beliefs and preferences it’s a great selection of music.
All that remains is to wish you all a very happy Christmas and thank you for stopping by. For those who are here for the first time round there are still many delights to come. For those who are here for the second time, it’s still a daily treat. Even now I can scarcely believe the wealth of great song, great joy and knowledge that is there to pick through. Thanks to all of you for your invaluable contributions.




Wake up everybody……it’s Chriiiiiiiiiiiissssstmaaaaaaaaaas!
Oh…just me then!
I’m going to pounce into the Advent Calendar Player now, Muzza. I’ve made a good start already with the Bellowhead Hedonism Live DVD that a very kind soul bought me for Christmas… fantastic!!!
Just listening to the wonderful Carthy-Waterson harmonies. Skyman. Absolutely stonking! I’ve not had time to dip into the Alternative Advent Calendar much, but will try to do better!
@ Muzza: I am very pleased you were up and about at an ungodly hour on Christmas Day. The operation has been a success! And on yer hip too! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
@ Pierre: Glad you enjoyed the live ‘Hedonism’ experience. Thankee kindly for David Ackles ‘American Gothic’ & sexy Seth’s latest album offering, ‘Tales From The Barrelhouse’. I have his full set now.
@ Jon: Thanks for the Merry Christmas greetings yesterday. Nice to know you are keeping a weather eye on us. Thanks for the continued pleasure of AFSAD. Hope we are all adding value to your project.
