Christmas News:
So...look, I know Ive been saying this every year for the last six or seven, but, in all likelihood, Stubbys will not be back for the 2019 Christmas season. Lots of reasons for that but, at the core, I just dont want to do it anymore. I want to lay back and enjoy the season in the ways I used to (the nice thing about searching for Christmas music without a blog is that you can stop when youre burned out). I will likely be posting more at Imwan and The Fa than I have [.....

So youve got 11 months, now, to prepare next years playli [......
A quick reminder that A Stubbys House Christmas 2018 is waiting for your download and will disappear forever on January 6. Read all about it just below this post.

I also want to add, at the outset, that this new computer likes to auto-correct spelling of words that are spelled correctly...like uke mysteriously becomes use, and just forget about band names with [...] ...
UPDATE 12/23/18: Some readers report difficulty extracting the files. I have tried different compression software and different storage hosts than those linked herein, but with the same results on the other end. However, one reader who had difficulty with his native extraction software found success with something called 7-Zip. Its a Windows program and I barely know the MACs Ive used all my life. But those with problems do seem to be Windows people (although so [.....
