Finally snagged the chance to get this final "formal monthly greetings entry" written up for the home base website of these beloved music operations, awesome people. And this isn't any ordinary "monthly greetings" entry; no, sir! This has special "corresponding images" attached with it (which are Mario series related, of course!). Why is this, you all ask? Look at the subject of this blog entry in question: we have now reached the final month of this year, as well as the very critical "Christmas holidays" period. This is the "home stretch" for all of us, and yours truly is more than ready to get into it full force. We've made progress during the latter part of the previous month posting first Super Nintendo music style arrangements targeting the scores of Paper Mario: Color Splash and Paper Mario: The Origami King, and there's no chance that our efforts to bring the majority of this backlog down is going to diminish any time soon.
So this is what I'm trying to deal with during the course of this final month of the year: once again, I'm currently examining this same page to plan out my next steps in getting the majority of new Super Nintendo music style arrangements posted for you all to check out between now and the end of this month (and especially before 2020 is officially in the history books; my gosh, what a roller coaster ride it has been for all of us! And as you can already tell, we have the blasted COVID-19 pandemic to blame for it all). Now, details are still under lock and key in regards to what upcoming arrangements are next to be posted and shared with you all; however, I will state that as I may have "hinted" in previous entries, some of them are going to have new featured Super Nintendo music instrument sets in play. You'll find out in due time what they are as the days forge ahead; stay tuned for that.
On a side note, earlier this morning as I was changing my wall calendars for this new month, one of them was featuring visuals for the highly acclaimed Mario adventure installment for the Nintendo Switch installment, Super Mario Odyssey. Can you believe that for our beloved music operations housing Super Nintendo styled covers for this score, it's been a little over two years since yours truly snagged the opportunity to get into this groove and "do the Odyssey" in this regard? And if this below picture is any clue, it can only tell me that there are even more candidates to be found. And could the stuff that I'm already working on and/or are in the "standby queue" be the ones to get posted during the course of this month too? God only knows the answer to that. We'll see what happens.
That all said, and this may be just my personal opinion, but from the above visual of this month of December from said calendar (which I forgot to mention is from Super Mario: History of a Hero 2020 Calendar, manufactured/published by Abrams Books), there are two parts that really, really matter as far as I'm concerned.
And with that, I think it's best to stop here before I really say too much. Bottom line: you definitely don't want to miss out on what's about to be shared between now and the end of this month to conclude a very tumultous year in our lifetimes. I can assure you that you won't be disappointed. Until then, all of you please continue to stay safe wherever you are, keep it bookmarked on this page, and I'll see you all on the next entry. Later, awesome people! I'm gone.Source URL:
