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!
