Alfons and the magic

"In making this little mix, I thought about the spirit of the community organization that sent out the original story to its members.

The holiday story of the man finding amazement through rare and hard to find short wave stations is both sweet and eccentric, reflecting the hopes and dreams of a group of short-wave enthusiasts in West Virginia, USA. This reminded me of the eccentric spirit in the song-poem genre, so I used a snippet of the song "Rocking Disco Santa Claus" by the Sisterhood."
