While choosing my favorite songs of the year yesterday and revising my choices today, I was struck by how often I thought, "So-and-so had a new release this year. Which tune do I like best from that release?" It got to the point where I thought, "Arrrrrgh! I just remembered that I meant to include so-and-so in the countdown...Which tune stands out most to me, though? Where should it fall in the rankings?" Near the end of my revising, I thought, "I never checked on so-and-so's new release this year. Oh, wait. It's actually not a new release but a compilation of older material. Whew...That's one less decision I have to make." Knowing there was so much good music from which to choose this year is a good so-called problem to have. In music, at least, 2016 has been a positive year.
Back to Christmas-related content tomorrow...After all, there's a lot of captivating Christmas music to highlight, as well.
