This special issue has some amazing Christmas music. But to see the issue and hear the music, you’ll have to be a paid subscriber. Right now, member subscriptions are $5 per month, or $55 per year. Prices will go up after the New Year. (I haven’t done my part to contribute to inflation, and feel left out. 😔) So if you’ve considered coughing up (miasmatic contagion aside) some cash for all this, now is the time to show your support. And if you know any music students (and don’t we all!), Drop the Needle is thee literature and repertoire textbook for developing a wide and informed musical ear! So, Merry Christmas, ‘n stuff. In the meantime, enjoy this viral hit from Mike Rowe and The Oakridge Boys.
