Two Pick-ups:
- Inductive - Self Made
- Piezo - BelCat kit - IRIS 1 with Pre-Amp. It was available and I utilised it.

I am a collector of Christmas Music and Albums; I have all the Cigar Box Christmas Albums From 2009-2022 except for 2020.
I hope someone will be able to provide me with an answer as I have asked here before and never received one response or answer.
1) Was there a 2020 Christmas Album and if so how can I obtain it.
2) Will There be a 2023 Christmas Album as I see nothing on this sight to indicate so, that would be a shame as it's a Christmas…
