Christmas CD ... circa 1998

Post by Rick Aiello »

In the spirit of the season ... :D

Here's about the only thing I ever recorded ... that I was really proud of ...

Recorded 10 yrs ago ... this season ... while my wife was doing her sub-internship in Neurosurgery (and was never home) ... at Jackson Memorial (UM School of Med).

In a one bedroom, third floor apartment ... about 1 mile from our friend Rick Alexander's home ... right off Hollywood Blvd (South Park Rd) ... across from the police station :\

This was my "final exam" ... for Jerry Byrd's correspondence course ...

Much as I abhor Christmas music, Rick, this is always a pleasure. Thanks.

Man, what a beautiful family. They're really growing and getting better looking all the time. Won't be long you'll be able to bring them to the Joliet convention.

I love most all Christmas music and I have heard it longer than most of you, but still never tire of it, except Felice Navidad. ;-)

And further I enjoy the annual Christmas music festival of Rick. This is becoming a must to hear every Christmas. 8)

Merry Christmas to all, :)

Nice pix Rick.

Everyone is looking healthy and happy - that's good.

It's nice to capture on film those nano-seconds in time when all the kids are clean, smiling and not fighting! :lol:

Berryville is a very beautiful locale, and the Aiello family makes it even more beautiful. It is obvious that Rick is very proficient at two things, and I know Crissy helps with one of those. ;-) Beautiful family and beautiful guitars.....what could be better??

Rick, thinking ahead about all of us baby-boomers, please consider designing a guitar for my twilight years - we could call it the Bedpan....... :lol:

Happy holidays to each and everyone on this forum. I don't post often, but I read and learn daily. Dan
