AND ...

Good News - I will soon be offering all of  my Virtual Victrola / Futuristic Rhythm audio programs on CD, including the 2007 Christmas Show and the 2009 Christmas Show. 

I am offering these programs on custom-made CD-R format, playable in any standard CD or DVD player.  Each episode comes with program notes and a complete playlist.

Of course the CD's are full quality 16 bit/44.1 kHz digital audio, as opposed to the mp3 versions of the shows that are available for download.

Check back for details after the beginning of the year.

Thanks!

Thanks so much for this! My family and I do theme Christmas Eve's and this year the theme is the 1930's. Primarily 1930's Christmas Music is very hard to come by. We will be listening to your show. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the show. I hope there are more Virtual Victrola shows coming in 2010. I've certainly have found lots of great music at the site over the past couple years.
