I was making a mix of songs with "run" in the title a little bit ago, and man are there are lot of covers of this "Run Run Rudolph" song.

You still be socially isolated and sing ,/ play Xmas carols. Just record on your phone on mp3 record app, then send to your peeps on WhatsApp. Better for introverts/less voyeuristic than Instagram or reel
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:40pm
Destroit:

It’s so refreshing to hear someone making a “mix”. I was rummaging thru some old mix tapes friends made me circa 1988-1990. So much care and time was taken to make them…and the cover art and liner notes

@destroit: I will say I don't miss all the fast-forwarding and rewinding to get to the song on the tape you wanted to copy you had to do back then :)
