CD COMMENT:
This year I didn't even look for tracks until Dec 21. I had heard about 5 or 6 songs on the music channel that we hadn't used yet. So, based on those songs, I decided to do a 'Golden Age'theme that would be similar to the very first CD we did back in 2000. AT first I thought it would be tough to fill a full CD, but when all was said and done, I had over 140 mintues worth of music that I had to cut down to under 80 minutes.

ART WORK COMMENT:
The artwork just fell into place because of the 'Golden Age' theme, the Santa display from the 1940's was an easy selection. The CD ended up getting one of my favorite shots from our recent visit to Longwood Gardens.

SONG COMMENT:
I revisited 'Golden Age' artists and had some help form the music channel to uncover some of the songs that ended up on the CD.

MATLERIALS COMMENT:
I used Memorex CDRs and thick HP Photopaper. The paper was tough to bend into the CD cases again. The CD labels are memorex paper and I actually used the last of my CD jewel cases that I had picked up at Comp USA before it closed a few years ago.

DRAKE INTRO:
Drake says, 'Yet another year of me being forced to say something on this CD... Merry Christmas'.

DRAKE OUTRO:
Dake says, 'This is the last Christmas CD we're gonna be doing. So you're not going to have to hear me do this anymore and I'm not gonna have to do it.'. Then as the CD is ending he says 'Finally, it's over. Yet again, Merry Christmas!'.
