Thanks to Jim for the last contest. I want to pay it forward and do a giveaway myself.

Prize: Win your choice of ONE of the following:
- Signed CD from Alex Sharpe (Broken by Design)
- Witnesses of Christmas hardcover book from Jenny Oaks Baker (w/ sheet music and links to Alex singing the songs)

How to enter: Easy! Guess a random number between 1-100. The correct answer is the number on my wife's VIP badge from CW Christmas 2022. My badge is #49 in my avatar. But the badge numbers are totally random. Closest guess wins.

Deadline: May 31 midnight PST

I noticed one of the buying options on Amazon is Vinyl.

If you google something like "celtic woman 20th anniversary vinyl", you'll see an old-fashioned LP / record is being released 3/15/2024 in gold!

Is this the first CW album in vinyl?

The venue in SoCal has a link on their website that says "Listen to this concert" on Spotify. I'm wondering if this is the real set list, or just a general Christmas promo. What do you think? I wouldn't mind at all if this is the real set list!!!

I want to be self aware & not comment too much. Maybe that ship has sailed. 

So...does the Like button work? I tried it but it doesn't seem to work for me.

Music Show Scotland appears on Pandora & Spotify & Youtube for me. It's quite a spectacle, esp. if you like the pipes.

If you are familiar with them, it looks like they will stop touring & will build a permanent home.
