At my house Christmas isn’t Christmas until we hear the album by Walter Brennan with the song “Snow” on it. That is our favorite Christmas Album. Around Christmas is when we take the albums out and play them non stop. That is great but they won’t last forever so I’d like to preserve them and I think I’ve found the device that will do the trick. The FirstStreet USB Turntable allows you to connect the turntable to your computer, play your albums and record them to digital formats like MP3. A while back my sister recorded everything to CD which was great but I think that with the technology available today we can do one better. Sure, an iPod by the fire isn’t as rustic as an old turntable but setting a Christmas playlist up and hitting shuffle will sound awesome.
Ellis Paul recently released a greatest hits album called Essentials. It is a collection of 34 tracks from many of Ellis’ previous albums. Allison and I have been Ellis fans since we have been together, that is about 6 years and each year we try to see him at least once if not 5 times. We just love his music. He is one of the most talented singer songwriters that are out there now. His roots in the Boston area don’t hurt the major following he has out this way. I was actually introduced to Ellis more than 10 years ago I think. My Sister Tara was a big fan and she has seen him many more times than we have. She brought me to see one of his shows at a small chapel in Woods Hole. You have to at least go and listen to Ellis Paul’s sample tracks, you will be hooked.
