A couple of years ago, we posted a podcast about Joy to the Burg, a holiday CD produced by Christian Churches United and the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame. Local central Pennsylvania bands recorded Christmas songs, and all proceeds from the sale of CDs and downloads went to homeless shelters in the area. You can listen to that program here:
The Musical Innertube - Volume 2, Number 83 - Joy to the Burg
Face it, this time of year, we're bombarded with non-stop holiday music everywhere we turn. The stores, the radio stations - they choose the music and feed it to us, the captive audience. BUT - in our homes, in our cars, and in our earbuds, we get to choose our own music. Joy to the Burg is that singular CD/download that allows us to choose the holiday tunes we want to hear, when we want to hear them, while simultaneously providing a warm place to stay for those who are without a home.
The tradition continues this year, with a twist: the 2024 edition of Joy to the Burg is a DOUBLE ALBUM, with TWICE the fantastic holiday music! All for the same low, low donation of $20.00! You can order the DOUBLE CD or the DOUBLE-LENGTH download now by going to https://www.joytotheburg.com/.
When you get to the website, click the big red ORDER box in the upper right. That will take you to the store, where you can not only order this year's DOUBLE album, but you can order any or all of the previous Joy to the Burg albums, dating back to the first one in 2019. Plus, for those of you in love with the warm sound of vinyl, you can order the Best of Joy to the Burg in actual record form! As an added bonus, you can order one-of-a-kind Christmas cards on the same page!
So what are you waiting for??? Go!! Now!! https://www.joytotheburg.com/ You will thank us while you sit next to a warm fire (in the fireplace, of course), hot toddy in hand, serenaded by a DOUBLE Christmas album for the ages.
