So the whole idea of playing this record today has a lot do to with my co-worker Berwyn.  When I say her name, it seems like such a strange thing.  I've never heard of a Berwyn and when I tell her that (she's from New Zealand), she tells me about the different "Berwyn's" there are all around.  It's a first for me but I don't think it will be a last.  That being said, my morning did not go as well as I hoped it would.  Starting off at 4am, getting to the gym 10 minutes early (4:50 a.m.) and having a very emotional conversation at that.  There is nothing like getting teary-eyed while working out.  Also, most of the morning, I thought today was Wednesday.  So getting back to Berwyn, when I went into the copy room to scan some documents, I asked her to play some music.  She asked me what I wanted to hear when I turned to her and said, "Let's hear some CHRISTMAS MUSIC!  Is it too early for that?  Or too late?"  She laughed.  I told her to surprise me and that's when she played My Fair Lady.  I told her I have a vinyl record that I would play in connection with that.  So here we are, at the end of my day and I put on Andy Williams' The Great Songs from My Fair Lady.

Enjoy!
