Barb's Secret Santa
Friday | 25 December 2009
I love living in Southern Oregon! I had a magic Christmas experience this year. I was in Ashland the week before Christmas running some errands when I was overcome by the desire to listen to some holiday Dean Martin.I stopped in the Music Coop to inquire about their supply of Dino. Specifically I said: My love of Christmas carols knows no bounds and I am looking for Dino!” To my delight, I found both Dean Martin’s album and the Rat Pack Christmas album.
As I was checking out, I asked what the wonderful blues carols were that were playing in the store. They told me it was the Allen Toussaint album and to my surprise, the proprietor had checked to see if it was available for me. He told me that he would have a copy for me, as a gift, by the following day!
He was very polite when offering it to me, saying that I was under no obligation to accept it. Quickly, a member of his staff answered for me reminding him that I walked in saying, “My love of Christmas carols knows no bounds!” Sure enough, the next day I was delighted by the sounds of carols New Orleans style.Thank you Music Coop for spreading generosity in spirit and in action.
