Playlist - 12/20/2015 - Christmas Program

Hi Folks.

We presented our one Christmas program today consisting of the late 1990s NPR special "The Breaking Up Christmas Story" assembled by old-time musician and former NPR host Paul Brown. Then a half-hour of our own Christmas choices followed by Joe Bussard's 11th program -- an all Christmas show.

We played a few other Christmas and other songs between the main events, including a 78 recording of Munroe "Moe" Jackson from my visit with Joe the day before.  

You'll have to wait a whole year to hear us play Christmas music again, but you can hear Joe Bussard's program here.

Join us each Sunday 2-4 pm on WHUS for more great legacy music.
