TQS Santa Star will deliver a holiday treat on Christmas Eve

When I decided to do the Christmas concert in La Veta, I did not intend to make a recording of it - neither audio nor video. But as it happened, Kat's husband captured a live audio mix of all four shows and Justin, at the last minute, decided to set up a video camera and man it at all the shows. The combination has allowed me to edit it all together just as you saw in "Do You Hear What I Hear?" (see December 19). Since it seems so many people enjoyed that video, I thought it would be fun to give you another one or two songs from the concert - hoping to enhance your holiday spirit.

Then, having finished editing the entire show, I've decided to do something I hope you'll find even better - to post the entire concert! However, in preparation for the posting, there are several things you need to know.

1. It will not be available to purchase on DVD - ever. You can wish, you can hope, but the reality is - it will not happen. There is lots of content that I have permission to use, but not to sell. So please don't ask - please don't whine - just accept the fact now and enjoy it exclusively right here at TQS (plug in your good computer speakers or get headphones).

2. It is a live recording. It is not polished or even professionally produced - even if you think it looks and sounds pretty good. So remember, the whole recording was a last minute decision and if there is something you like - or something you don't like - it was all an accident - even so, I still thought many of would enjoy the opportunity to see it.

3. It is posted on the blog for EVERYONE who is a member to watch. However, it will not have chapters - so, you'll simply have to fast forward or watch the whole thing - and it is 72 minutes long! So, get a cup of nog or cider and kick back. It will be best watched from beginning to end with no interruptions.
