The Christmas Story.  Another full album of Christmas music to add to your collection.  Play the tracks and any you like, you are free to download.  It's a good thing it's almost Christmas as we are about out of Christmas albums to bring you.  At first, we didn't think that this would be possible as we found a great deal of Christmas music out there.  Maybe we started to early in bringing everyone Christmas music.  We started at the same time as the radio stations started bringing you the tunes on the radio.  The main difference is we let you keep the music.  The radio only lets you hear the music.

  After Christmas day, we will have to stop trying to bring any more Christmas music in for downloads as we are very much maxed out now on all of our sources for great tunes.  We are not complaining though as it has forced us into finding additional sources for music to continue to bring everyone.  And we have found some truly wonderful stuff out there.  Something for everyone.  Classical to Hip Hop to heavy metal to country to blue grass and celtic.  In 2014 we will load you up with so much music that you will wish you had gotten several Mp3 players for Christmas.

  Merry Christmas and enjoy.

Orson Welles as The Shadow. A predecessor in the role delivered the show's intro, with its famous catchphrase, "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows ...." According to historian Frank Brady, Welles's "voice as the 'invisible' Shadow was perfect." The intro, however, also called for a sinister chuckle; Welles's effort "seemed more an adolescent giggle than a terrifying threat." Brady (1989), p. 78. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
