Less a dollop, more a sprinkle of HOLIDAY CHEER on Today's OFF THE HOOK! * For, as the gate of Winter Solstice has opened the celestial skyways for a certain HOARY-HIRSUTE GEEZER to come storming past our chimneys, flinging joy and GLAD TIDINGS, we wrap ourselves in his Snowy Beard and SHIVER with the knowledge that this man is a MYTH! * And while a Myth is not necessarily an Untruth, we dare not utter the "C word" when the "L word" is the greater point of the Season! * OFF THE HOOK: a listenable myth on KXSF 102.5FM /  https://kxsf.fm/

There's an old saying in radio.  I forget what it is and nobody says it anymore, but suffice it to say, it doesn't apply to OFF THE HOOK, a radio program utterly unprecedented in a time-honored way! * OFF THE HOOK puts a capital M on music and a capital FU on rules and expectations (and professionalism, quite frankly)! * Danger lurks around every mic break, but your host is no hollow weenie, just an up-standing failed standup comic whose mission is to make you sit down and listen! * On KXSF 102.5FM / https://kxsf.fm/

Today on OFF THE HOOK, we mourn the loss and celebrate the music of two IDIOSYNCRATIC musical minds: the whimsical and ICONOCLASTIC "jazz" genius CARLA BLEY and inscrutably CHARISMATIC "power popper" DWIGHT TWILLEY! * We'll likely have to go into extra-time to properly cover these two UNIQUE musical one-offs, but it will be a most enjoyable and edifying excursion! * Tune in for RESPECT and fun on KXSF 102.5FM  https://kxsf.fm/
