We hope you’re having a really nice holiday season so far. This year, we wanted to try something different for a change, skipping the annual Christmas compilation.
Instead, we bring you What Begins On New Year's Day, an astounding assembly of musical meditations on the New Year.
With this, we wish you a Frohes Neues Jahr, much joy and good health, and what we really need: A whole lot more Peace on Earth.
