Editor’s Note: <\/strong> Spider Sounds<\/a> presents a special holiday edition today (it’s so special we’ve broken it into two parts!). We asked various folks who work in the Parsons Music Library<\/a>, Boatwright Library<\/a> and the Music Department<\/a> to share some of their favorite music to listen to during the holiday season. Any holiday and all genres of music were fair game and we got quite a fun selection. Links will take you to either the library catalog<\/a> or to other<\/a> relevant<\/a> information<\/a>. Do you see any of your favorites on this list? If there are favorites or overlooked classics you’d like to add, please share them in the comments to this post! Tune in this Friday for part 2 of our Holiday Music Special!<\/em><\/p>\n
