December Brings Winter Music

Enjoy the season, whether you celebrate holidays or not! Nearly all of the seasonal traditions for this time of year are based on earlier cultures, such as Roman [Saturnalia] and Pagan [Yule Tide]. No kidding - decorated trees, wreaths, mulled wine, the works. So, everybody have fun and celebrate your season your way! [You lucky friends in the Southern Hemisphere, enjoy that summer, too!]

This month, the Oddio Overplay site features seasonal releases that are available for your review online. Additionally, more are slated to be posted here.

Let's get that ball rolling. Shall we?
