Excerpts from "A Very Spectrum Christmas" by Thomas A. Christie (Part 3). In this section: "The White Door" by Tartan Software (1987). Throughout the 1980s, thousands of British children were lucky enough to discover a Sinclair ZX Spectrum under their Christmas trees and soon found their eyes opened to a virtual world of wonder. But Santa Claus did more than deliver computers — sometimes he appeared on them, too. This book delves into the Spectrum’s extraordinary pantheon of seasonal games: the good, the bad, the surprising, the unabashedly surreal and the occasionally rather tenuous. "A Very Spectrum Christmas" is Copyright ©2021 Thomas A. Christie, all rights reserved, and is published by Extremis Publishing Ltd. This title is available as a physical book from www.extremispublishing.com and all good online retailers and independent booksellers worldwide.

Luke Leverett - “Bring Myself To Light”
One of my tunes. Kind of a mystic folk rock in a style I think inspired by 1970s folkish Laurel Canyon type stuff. Trying to push that feel into a spiritual direction. Doing the song on my nylon string acoustic, which is basically a classical guitar but with a dreadnought style body.
