Sometimes this time of year, people (like me) get the blues. Somehow, listening to blues music makes me feel a lot better, so we kicked things off
with some blues that was far from depressing.
Then, some Christmas music that doesn’t suck.

There’s really no choice but to listen to Christmas music on Christmas Day. And usually, your choices range from the tired fare on commercial radio or the tired fare on that cool fireplace channel on Shaw TV. But what those options don’t give you is a real person, playing really good songs.
That’s where we come in. 2 hours of fun and interesting music, with a delicate mix of traditional songs and some more contemporary, fun ones. It’s our Christmas gift to the listeners!
