  • Unusual or Special Holiday Gifts?

    From Notsure01@21:1/5 to All on Tue Dec 20 16:43:59 2022
    With Holiday season upon us, I was wondering about examples of unusual
    or special music related gifts. These could be ones we've received or
    given - but those that are memorable for some reason.

    Over the years I've received odd things - an Edison cylinder (not rare,
    I checked), a recording of Classical Barbra (kind of interesting...) and
    a box of complete Frescobaldi keyboard works (the theory being I already
    have all the standard stuff).

    Also noteworthy are the gifts that I've cherished: the fancy orange LP
    set of the Gilels/Szell Beethoven (which started my Szell mania), the
    Oiseau Lyre box of "Acis and Galatea" (which helped me appreciate
    opera), and Dover editions of musical scores.

    It might be interesting if folks would share their thoughts - whether
    about presents for various holidays or birthdays, those that they got,
    those they gave, wished they got, should have given, shouldn't have
    given, etc...

    Thanks!

    Are you building dossiers about the folks on this ng?

    Asking people to share their thoughts appears to be
    somewhat frowned upon. Please get approval from
    the thought police -- Herman, Melmoth and Gerard.

    Will you stop mentioning my name at every possible juncture, you filthy piece of racist shit?

    Take your sick and evil obsessions elsewhere.

    Luckily, I've been told that someone else is keeping track of who is
    naughty or nice...
