Commodore 128 Holiday Sights and Sounds with the 1985 Jingle Disk

While cleaning and testing some disks from the Stone Collection I came across this holiday disk from 1985 that still works perfectly!
I thought this recording with the sounds of the drive and the SID music would be fun to put on a loop for a while Christmas day and I thought you might like it as well. The narration is by Muriel McGiniss. The gold bell on the side was hanging in my Grandparents house every Christmas of my life until they passed. Now it hangs in our house every year (It plays silent night)
The video was captured via the RetroTINK 2X Pro as a camera recorded the machine and drive noises so this is actually playing for real. I then took the good video capture and overlaid it with the 1702 so that the video quality would not be potato. The 1702 is actually the same monitor that's on the right side of the screen. Over half the real time was disk loading so I edited some of that out. There is a longer version on my 2nd channel (Without Narration) that I uploaded as a test if you want an even more real experience. It was longer than it could have been because the machine has Jiffy DoS but the internal drive doesn't yet. This means I had to load it in default 1541 slow mode.

I didn't want to detract from the holiday spirit of the video with any on screen overlays so the Patreon thanks are here in the description. Seriously
THANK YOU ALL PATRON FRIENDS!
UPDATE: Geek With Social Skills is listed as a Patron and I cannot change that without delisting the video. I am no longer associated with him in any way other than some attempts to get some items returned.

Happy holidays to everyone! I just wanted to capture the feel of this on a real machine. You can find a link to a full length version plus more details in the description including the thanks for my amazing Patrons that were OK with skipping the credits in the video so it can be uninterrupted. Narration by my neighbor, Muriel.

Kinda sounds like a young vibrant Barbara Walters.

I checked the full video and noticed you can choose between fast and normal load.
The copies I found online don't have that option. Can you share your copy?

[@RavenWolfRetroTech]

I have the files copied from the disk that I can zip up. I have not set up the greaseweazle for 5.25 disks yet and my plate is pretty full right now. Will that work?

[@Throckmorton.Scribblemonger]

@@RavenWolfRetroTech That will work, thanks.
