MESSAGE - HAPPY HOLIDAYS 2025

HAPPY HOLIDAYS 2025

My warmest thoughts and best wishes to you all for a joyful Holiday season and a bright New Year.

Though distance may keep us apart, I’ll be raising a glass (or many) to your health and happiness from afar.

May all that is beautiful, meaningful, and uplifting find its way to you this season and throughout the year ahead. My heartfelt wishes extend not only to you, but also to those closest to you.

I want to express my deep gratitude to everyone who has contributed to the Butterboy’s Compilations Blog in 2025. Your music, ideas, and energy have enriched each day and made this space thrive.

  • A special salute to K, whose outstanding compilations continue to be a highlight year after year. THANK YOU
  • Thanks also to those who have shared special presentations and generously offered great music, many of which have found a home on the main page. Berni, Hervé, lemonflag and John Angelatos, THANK YOU
  • To all who joined the My Compilation series, your creativity has been a joy to experience, and I know thousands of others have felt the same. THANK YOU
  • To all of the visitors that have shared music with me and others through the comments. THANK YOU
  • To every visitor who stops by, leaves thoughtful comments, and supports the work here, thank you for your encouragement and ongoing presence. It's always a delight. THANK YOU
  • And to the new friends I’ve met this year, I treasure these connections and often wish I could sit alongside you as you listen to the music we celebrate together. 

As a final note and as we move through the New Year, we should remember that we can’t fix all the world’s problems, no matter how much we might wish we could. But we can pause, reflect, and hold space for those who are carrying more than we know. A small act of kindness, a moment of understanding, or simply remembering those less fortunate than ourselves can bring a little light into places we may never see.

Let’s welcome the season with love, peace, and a spirit of discovery. May the New Year be kind, safe, and full of music.

Cheers.

BB

  22. Dear BB, I have thanked you before for all the music and platform, and now I thank your for your New Years wish.
    Being kind pleases all, (in the end)
    being mean pleases no one (in the end)
    Remember, when someone wants to talk (about their problems), all you really have to do, is listen to them.
    And listen we surely can, thanks to all the music, suggestions and ideas on here.

    For all: have a great end of the year 2025 and I wish you the 2026 you all hope for.
    Cheers (in more ways than one !), Cor
