My Santa went above and beyond. I originally got an email asking my voice type, presumably because I mentioned I'm a vocal musician, and I had no idea what to expect. The mail arrived today, and I opened it after my concert this evening. I looked at the sheet music inside, and saw my name at the top, and said to my wife, "Holy s***... I think my Secret Santa wrote me a song." It is based on the final monologue of Mr. Freeze from a Batman: the Animated Series episode, 'Heart of Ice' (I am a big Batman fan... my car's license plate is "BATJOSH"). The package included a flash drive with the sheet music, midi file, and a recording of accompaniment played by a pianist.

I plan to record the song and have the composer combine the tracks (per his suggestion), and I look forward to hearing the final product!

Additionally, there a "mixtape" CD with footnotes about why each track was chosen, which I will be listening to soon.

This is the most awesome gift I've ever received, and it was from a random internet stranger! I want to link to the composer's website, but I don't think I'm allowed because it obviously uses his real name. I'll let him link if he wants to.

Thank you Santa, this is a gift I will never forget!
