This show is all about songs – jazz & standards – that are all at least 7 minutes long & no longer than 7:59.
While this was intended to be an “easy” show to produce & record – which it was – it also comes in just under 3 hours. That’s what happens when you play twenty 7 minute songs, I s’pose!
ENJOY!

This year’s Christmas show is unique & yet, a lot of it is the same. You can still hear the entire original Nat King Cole Christmas record – long since out of print – in its entirety here. You can also hear some lovely singer/songwriters do their takes on more modern winter songs & a few of my choice Irish traditional Christmas music, too.
But, as it is, week-in week-out, this show is mostly dedicated to traditional Christmas music from my childhood.
I love them all & I hope you do, too.
May you ALL have a Happy & Merry season!
