Today our rowdy and irreverent team shows that even the ‘masses’ appreciate classical music fare. Mark Wait, Tim Slover, Steven Kapp Perry and Jackie Tateishi all introduce instrumental Christmas selections. However, beware that between sophisticated music tracks the team may revert back to their boorish ways! Up for debate is: whether or not Thanksgiving is in fact a day unto itself or a nice mid-season Christmas holiday; if it’s possible to channel the feelings of a Dickensian Christmas at the mall; And is there any hope/utility for “Happy Christmas” state-side?
