Holiday music exchange: a modest proposal.

[rivka]

I know that there are at least a couple of people on my friends list who like Christmas music, or general winter holiday music. (In particular, I'm thinking of fairoriana and patgreene - but there are probably others.)

Would anyone be interested in a CD mix exchange with a winter holiday theme?

I would be happy to - I have some nifty close harmony if anyone else is into that.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

How are you envisioning this? 6 people sign up = everyone makes 5 CDs and sends them out?

I know at least one of the CDs I have is out of print. My parents had it on a reel-to-reel tape and every year my dad would have to fix the reel-to-reel deck so Mom could hear the Jimmy Joyce Singers. I would wake up one frosty December morning to, "ssssoooooOOOOOOMMME children see him lily white..." It was a true sign of the season... The CD was back in print for maybe 2 or 3 years. A great loss to the world!

That's how CD exchanges I've done before have been, but I want to wait and see how many people sign up. I think there's probably an upper limit, above which people won't want to pay all that postage. So if tons of people want to do it, we might set up two swap groups, or a round-robin sort of thing.
