a task that probably would have taken me a month if I really worked at it.  But I didn't work at it that hard.  I took a rather leisurely pace, causing it to stretch on and on well into the summer and fall.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As soon as the cataloging was done, I began assembling and labeling the CD-Rs for each CD, printing out the artwork for each CD, and keeping each CD in alphabetical order so the burning process would be streamlined.  </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">About a month into this phase, the 2010 Christmas season was underway.  Another 100+ albums were added thanks to Christmas gifts, my own purchases, several donations to my <a href="http://christmasyuleblog.blogspot.com/2006/10/po-box-13207-fort-wayne-in-46867-3207.html">PO Box</a>, and the generous (and boy do I MEAN generous) Christmas sharity community.  Back to square one with more cataloging and assembling.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the middle of all of this physical assembly and organization, I made an important decision.  Since 1/3 of my collection had come from Christmas shares and was digitized already, I bit the bullet and began to make plans to digitize the other 2/3 of the collection - possibly eliminating the need for burned CDs in the future.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So while I was adding new entries onto my spreadsheet, I was working on FOUR other spreadsheets: the first was keeping track of all the Christmas downloads for the past year, the second was organizing what Christmas shares I needed to burn to CD, the third was determining what Christmas albums (including artwork) that are or aren't digitized.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Armed with the lists, I now go forth.  Starting with A&M's 1997 In Store Christmas Sampler and ending with Christmas With Zamfir, I will be working on digitizing all of the Christmas CDs in my collection.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Count as of 3/5/2011:  </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">1,572 albums</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">25,508 songs</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">During this process, I will try to post links of the albums I've downloaded over the past four years.  This way, the two or three people who read this blog will be able to listen to the albums I've burned or will be burning.  </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">I'll actually be able to listen to some of these albums for the first time (remarkable, huh?) and maybe add a one or two line comment on each album.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The whole purpose of this blog was to keep track of new additions to my collection.  In posting the links, I'll be doing two jobs at once.  We'll see how this will end up...  Stay tuned.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Capt</span></div>

Vintage Christmas Ads Pt. 22 - LIFE Magazine / December 5, 1949 (43 Christmas Ads!)

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Several years ago, I started a <a href="http://christmasyuleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Vintage%20Christmas%20Ad">feature</a> on this blog that showcased selections from my vintage Christmas ad collection.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In years past, my collection of ads had come from antique malls and flea markets.  Vendors would take old magazines of LIFE, TIME, Look, Saturday Evening Post, Collier's, Newsweek, Ladies Home Journal, and dozens of older vintage magazines and rip the ads out one by one to sell individually.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The profit margins were substantial and a huge market began. Many people still sell ads on eBay, the antique stores and flea markets still peddle them. Then someone noticed the effect it had on the used magazine market - old magazines that normally sold for $5 or less were now $20 or more. Thanks to the continued shredding of older magazines, finding complete magazines are getting more scarce in the marketplace.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I began to look at the ads I had collected and noticed the uneven cuts out of the magazine with a box cutter. The quality of many of the ads were good but could have been better. I had no system of organizing my ads and it was a nightmare dealing with them.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Early in 2009, I began purchasing the December issues of vintage magazines.  Full, complete issues in excellent to mint condition that have sat untouched on a shelf, preserving the ads inside.  </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">By the end of this year, I have well over 100 magazines, each containing on average 50 - 60 ads in each issue.  When a new magazine comes in, I take a trip over to my local FedEx Store (formerly Kinko's) and make color copies of each full page, half page, and page length ads in each issue.  The smaller column ads are scanned in later at my home.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My most recent acquisition was: <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX-BIYCSxDbBs0eAJEeN_DVd5O1kF6PCUCvOqPR7l518RTYozKnuiSJ2TeFJgtGvgTDhO6b9Daqsi1sfppzPzNaPhl-GGTJIAFhlVCjslLh3djpRSIVAePsrbbsnUs3Fy5TvoViEatAGEl/s1600/scan0001.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX-BIYCSxDbBs0eAJEeN_DVd5O1kF6PCUCvOqPR7l518RTYozKnuiSJ2TeFJgtGvgTDhO6b9Daqsi1sfppzPzNaPhl-GGTJIAFhlVCjslLh3djpRSIVAePsrbbsnUs3Fy5TvoViEatAGEl/s400/scan0001.jpg" width="292" /></a></div><br /><br />The late 1940s and 1950s was the peak in regards to magazine advertising.  Newspapers, radio, or (if you could afford one) television were all in black & white.  Many issues from this period were overflowing with advertising:  this issue contains 171 pages.   </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A typical issue of LIFE in 1939 or 1959 would have been 100-120 pages.<br /><br />Normally in the past, I would post one strange or unusual ad here.  However, since the cataloging or these magazines have been all I've been doing for the better part of this year, I've decided to post ALL of the ads I scanned out of this issue:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It happened again... Journal Gazette, Part Deux

<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I received a phone call this morning from my father-in-law, a hearty fellow with a dry sense of humor.  If you happened to see "The FPT Christmas Revue", you might remember a character from Act II - a retiree who was spending his first Christmas in an assisted living facility. <br /><br />That character was loosely based on my father-in-law (you gotta write what you know about).<br /><br />Ed called here early this morning as I was waking up:  "I wanna thank you for scaring all the mice out of our house..."<br /><br />Huh?  I'm not sure what he was getting at...<br /><br />"They printed your <a href="http://www.journalgazette.net/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091224/LOCAL0201/312249991/1047">interview</a> in the morning paper... Front page too!"  he stated plainly.<br /><br />Then I really woke up.  A few weeks back, I was interviewed by Frank Gray, a gent who works for the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, for a piece I had hoped would run before the run of the revue ended.  As it turned out, they pushed it back to run today (of all days).<br /><br />If this seems familiar, this was the same newspaper that ran a <a href="http://christmasyuleblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/christmas-day-2007.html">Christmas Day article</a> two years ago about my Christmas collection and my annual Christmas CD that I send to family and friends. <br /><br />So... I'm in the paper... Again...  I sound like Forrest Gump... Again...<br /><br /><br />Capt<br /></span></span>

The FPT Christmas Revue in Review & Stan Freberg Revues All!

It was a project that I was closely involved with since the beginning of this year; a journey full of challenges, frustrations, joy, and remarkable achievements while bringing a totally new work to the stage.<br /><br />I must thank Thom Hofrichter and Joel D. Scribner for this amazing opportunity.  These two gentlemen gave me a chance to showcase my perspective on Christmas and they were supportive of the whole process.  I owe them a lot and I look forward to working with them on other shows at First Presbyterian Theater.<br /><br />Over 1000 people came out to see the show over its run and saw a plethora of talent.  We had 30+ people in the cast, ages ranging from five to 70-something.  We had members of five different families within the cast, a wide range of Christmas songs to sing, and each member of the cast gave it their all every night on the boards.<br /><br />To my fellow cast members, thank you so much.  I got to know many of you in those small moments of waiting around for another go around on a particular song or waiting for your moment to rehearse your lines.  I shared your moments of accomplishment, swapped the latest jokes about Tiger Woods, and laughed with all of you throughout the whole process.<br /><br />Thanks to all of you wonderful people for making this Christmas incredibly special.  I say to all of you:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcG0jFdDJngxmiAx5NdCMO8NUYi2iJeVYtLDzOmKIMZG9IY8dPE3RAPPumdhVxDO2-U2jdOpthaZ7gNZXDEfArm1V0jI02K_u8wfl8KKdwNvTYaKahy6Zy5w-L452HtNemwegsgfL8Kgj9/s1600-h/fort+wayne+wreath.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416199942432351122" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcG0jFdDJngxmiAx5NdCMO8NUYi2iJeVYtLDzOmKIMZG9IY8dPE3RAPPumdhVxDO2-U2jdOpthaZ7gNZXDEfArm1V0jI02K_u8wfl8KKdwNvTYaKahy6Zy5w-L452HtNemwegsgfL8Kgj9/s400/fort+wayne+wreath.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 306px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br /><br />Of course, we can't forget this guy either...<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzQXR_Lna3EUJQTNYlrVbq0-qaKVq4CIB3O6zxKBbRKilJSfIHoRbwtX07WHlv8X_mAUc9HWQsmKFSbgyslGbidxz3nm_0zAe98qfG1OeM0PjwSYCSP-HC3hW1HzE73h47ep-eKkm1Benm/s1600-h/055+-+Stan+Freberg+%28phone%29.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415608637135854642" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzQXR_Lna3EUJQTNYlrVbq0-qaKVq4CIB3O6zxKBbRKilJSfIHoRbwtX07WHlv8X_mAUc9HWQsmKFSbgyslGbidxz3nm_0zAe98qfG1OeM0PjwSYCSP-HC3hW1HzE73h47ep-eKkm1Benm/s400/055+-+Stan+Freberg+%28phone%29.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 302px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 222px;" /></a><br />Imagine answering a voicemail left on your cell phone in July and hearing the legendary voice of Stan Freberg returning your phone call!  It was that phone call that began the process of securing the right to perform "Green Chri$tma$" for possibly the first time live on stage anywhere.<br /><br />Stan and his wife Hunter provided our little theater group the greatest gift of the year.  We had enormous fun putting it on the stage and the audience immensely enjoyed the work.  Every night, you could hear a pin drop when our Bob Cratchit reminded everyone about "whose birthday we're celebrating".<br /><br />Freberg revealed to us a never-before hilarious story behind the creation of "Green Chri$tma$".  Ever wonder what cash register they used for the end of that song?  Download to hear the story for yourself along with a Christmas greeting from Stan himself:<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/322140009/Stan_Freberg_-_Green_Christmas_Greetings.zip">Stan Freberg - Green Chri$tma$ Greetings</a></span></span><br /><br /><br />Happy listening...<br /><br /><br />Capt
