Do you remember your first Compact Disc?

Oh, I haven't bought a single cd this year, and maybe two over the two years previous. That's WAY down from what it was just a few years ago, when one or two a week was typical.

I admit that the 9.99 standard price at iTunes has spoiled me a bit. I just can't bring myself to plunk down 14 to 18 dollars for the same music just so I can have a plastic case and an insert. There are still a significant number of titles I can't (legally) get via download, and I do pick up and look at them the Virgin Megastore, sigh, and put them right back in the bin. (Admittedly, Virgin is notoriously overpriced. Living in Kissimmee as I do, it's the only retail location that's anything like within reasonable driving distance.)

Also, gulp, I haven't bought a single movie on DVD this year. There are tons of titles I'd like to have, but, these days, I just can't justify it.

I'm always late to everything, so here is my contribution..

When You Wish Upon A Star: A Tribute To Walt Disney (The Mormon Tabernacle Choir) Naturally, they are an amazing choir, doing total justice to many Disney favorites. You know, I have no clue where it disappeared to.

I may need to rebuy that one.

It was a Christmas gift from my Daddy, and I accidentally opened it before my CD player. I was so excited when I actually opened the player! I worked at Disneyland at the time & my Dad knew I was a Disney freak. I got some more CD's, but I can't remember what they were!

But my Mom bought me a bunch for my birthday, which is a week after Christmas. And Milli Vanilli was in that bunch. Heehee! I used to listen to that CD at my desk while studying and doing my homework. Girl you know it's true...
