The HGP was conceived in 1991 as a Christmas gift from the Ecto community to Happy, and secondarily to the community itself. Ectophiles would send in musical selections, which could be either recorded, or original performances. These were compiled into a tape which was sent on to Happy, and dubbed onto the cassettes on which contributors sent their musical selections, which were then returned to them. A couple of years later, the concept was expanded to a companion effort, the Happy Birthday Project, those tapes being sent to Happy for her birthday in August, and similarly shared among the contributors. The annual editions of the HGP and HBP continued almost to the end of the decade. During that time, Ectophiles shared a lot of great music with Happy and with each other. I remember them fondly.

I was once in the process of making a best of tape. Not too sure where that is now. Thanks for the memory.
