46. I have always been a fan of Paul Winter's Solstice Concert

Sat Dec 21, 2013, 10:28 PM

Dec 2013

In NYC. It has been an annual event for over 30 years, and it is always awesome.

You can download some of the music here: http://music.paulwinter.com/

You can listen to two hours of the concert at:http://www.npr.org/2013/12/20/255745849/a-paul-winter-solstice-concert-2013

Happy Solstice, Merry Yule, Happy Festivus, Joyous Saturnalia!

Oh, and I guess you can call me "Reverend" now. I was ordained today as a minister of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

R'Amen!
