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.

Inspired by Ysaye, Paganini, and B.B. King, I'm happy to say that "Motion" has been performed in the most random venues ranging from Lincoln Center in NYC to Ruta Maya's Coffee in Austin, TX. As I always say, music should have no barriers and I'm so grateful that audiences of all kinds have supported my music in grand concert halls to small, intimate bars and coffee houses. I hope you guys enjoy it!"Also Visit: www.charlesyangmusic.com www.facebook.com/charlesyangmusic
