  Over these many long years i have personally seen, heard, and experienced many things. Add to that the incredible amount of diverse reviews within the Enjoy the Music.com™ archives, both music and equipment, and we have achieved offering an amazing diversity of information to our readership. This month i have decided to celebrate this assortment by hand picking my very own faves. Some of these picks may come as a surprise, as not all will be super exotica at Ferrari prices.

No matter how much one tries to narrow down the amazing array of products available to audiophiles worldwide, there are those few that truly have a special place within my heart. Once i was done making my Editor Steve's Picks list for this month, there were a few truly excellent products that were not included. It is not an easy task selecting only a small handful. Wish the list could have gone on and on, yet at some point one must show restrain, no matter how much one grieves the choice.

Please understand that inclusion, or lack thereof, does not mean a product should be overlooked. It could appear within a future Editor Steve's Picks! There has never been such a wide range of choices available to audiophiles worldwide and naturally we  here at Enjoy the Music.com™ celebrate diversity.

So as the editor of this merry ship, from time to time you will see a special additional notation inviting you to read about the truly excellent products as covered within a previously published Review Magazine. It is my time to share a few of those truly excellent products with you. Of course in the end what really matters is that you...

"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad"
