Disciples!!

Christmas came early this year! We’re presenting you with an IMS for December before we hit January! This is part one, as we’ve gotten enough music to do another part 2 – so there will be 24 volumes in all when all is said and done.

But enough of my blathering: Happy Holidays – whatever ones you celebrate – and stay tuned because we’re not done yet with 2023.

Peace!
