December 25, 2024 CHRISTMAS 2024 - Ho! Ho! Ho! Brother
Merry Christmas one and all! In keeping with a Hanley family tradition, we have decided to mark the season with a quiz! We gathered members of the wider Fall family, for a quick game of "Name That Fall Tune". What says Christmas more than 7 people shouting over each other, not understanding the rules of a game. Fans of high fidelity audio and tight well rehearsed formats are invited to keep their thoughts to themselves. Hope you enjoy, and have a very merry Christmas, from all of us here at Oh! Brother.
