I don't understand that story. There were at least a dozen different bidders who bid over US$150K. If the top bidder backs out, eBay lets you make a "second chance offer" to the second place bidder and down the line. In all the articles I've seen since the auction ended, there's been no mention of this.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I put 8 versions of "Carol of the Bells" on Buffistarawk because of my deep love
OK, I haven't looked at what you posted, but I have the following versions if anyone wants: George Winston, Nox Arcana (gothy!) The Nylons, Steve Morse and Manuel Barrueco.
And, of course, "Carol of the Great Old Ones" by the Arkham Chorale.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The Nylons version is probably a capella.

Indeed it is. Except they don't sing the words to the song, just "La la la lah"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This looks awesome: Christmas with Colonel Sanders
...featuring the deep-fried musical stylings of Chet Atkins, Henry Mancini, and Harry Belafonte.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
