(Season's) Greetings!

Another selection to snuggle up to, moving you this way and that.

No chat, just tunes bridging this year and the next. This is not a best-of. I like to reflect on the past AND look to the future, you get me?

As always, keen to hear feedback, what your favourites are… Contact contact.

Wishing you a blessed Christmas and nothing but magic for 2019.

Soon,

AmAr
