Found mention of this on the message board archives today. Had forgotten about it and MM had requested Don't Let Us Get Sick recently.

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year (in advance, as I type this, it is New Year's Eve afternoon!).

I won't be partying this evening.  Nope, just watching movies as usual!  But hope everyone has a good time, whatever you do.  Have been listening to Michael's music a lot today.....

All the best.  Peter

Hello all,
I'm still working on the message board archives - putting the messages in the proper order. https://www.mjblue.com/mjboardarchives.html

Still paying a programmer to write a search script. It's taking longer than I thought 

I've updated all the pages to reflect the original heading MJ wrote (A chance for visitors to share thoughts, along with some chiming in from MJ) with the school photo of Michael with his comment about it (Obviously I dressed myself that day).

Hi Cindy

The Album I do not have is Lifetime Guarantee (1983).  If it is possible could that Album be attached as downloadable MP3 files

Also I attached the picture I had in a file of Michael at the Guthrie in MN and you are in that 1975 photo. 

I  have the rest of Michaels discograph except that one album. 

In the early 90s I purchased a new Yamaha CD recorder which was new and expensive at the time.  I transferred my old, but like new LPs to CDs and then I could play the songs on my computer and iPods.  Transferring digital music is a lot easier now than it was then, so I now have all the old LPs digitally and when Michael began "cutting" CDs, I'd buy them on Amazon so that I could "own them" and not just have them as MP3s. 

 I was doing a lot of research with Honeywell in MN for my job with the U.S. Army in the 90s and a friend who worked for Honeywell, knew I was a HUGE MJ fan had, unbeknownst to me,  purchased tickets to see Michael at Orchestra Hall on Nicollet Ave. Minneapolis, MN. That was December 26, 1994. (My friend told me who we were seeing as we were heading to the  hall.  It was the first time seeing Michael even though I had every recording he made since "there is a breeze"  it was so GREAT. 

Then every time Michael came east, I was at the concerts. 

That's my story

A Christmas song for you, written by Mark Henley who released it as a single on MJ's Sanskrit label in 1977. MJ sang this on the radio in 1974. A great version, an okay recording.

I'll try to put audio files at https://www.mjblue.com/songs from now on. In AAC (m4a) format.

So often, I think about Michael, and it's still so strange to realize that he is no longer with us.  His music, thank God, will always endure.  It is truly a big part of my life.  MJs  wonderful music gets me through very sad times, and is there to help me celebrate what few happy occasions I experience.  I miss him so much.  Peter
