Virtual Advent Tour: Vintage tunes, virtual fireplace and Songs of the Season (Dec. 16)


Hi! Welcome to Random Magic Tour - The Coven, the official site for Sasha Soren, author of Random Magic.

For this stop on Virtual Advent Tour 2011, we'd like to invite you to see what songs are being picked out for enjoyment by a great group of bloggers, in Songs of the Season. It seems like it'd be a nice complementary event, and you're welcome to join us for the rest of the month, if you like.

But just so there's something special for this stop on Virtual Advent Tour - here's a separate, music-related feature just for Virtual Advent Tour - a mellow list of charming vintage tunes for the season.


But first, a moment to get comfy by the fire with your favorite bevvie, then just click play to enjoy a roaring fire and  to enjoy some genial tunes - old and new!


Shown above: A cheery fireplace for all to enjoy. 

Add a hot beverage of your choice, while the host kindly takes care of stowing your scarf and coat and so on...




Shown above: Just in time for a merry booze-up.
