This week on the show, I invite you to come in out of the cold and pull up a seat next to me over here by the fireplace as we enjoy some 1940's holiday favorites. This is part one of a show I call A Fireside Big Band Christmas. I tried to play many of the holiday songs from the 1930's and 40's as I could find. Many of your favorite bands are on the show today as we get into the holiday season. And, as always, the Big Band Puzzler is back this week. So I hope you will join me and maybe get a snack or two and your favorite beverage and warm yourselves as we settle in and listen to some great holiday classics. To everyone I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com
