  • CHRISTMAS MEMORIES I
    ABOUT THIS SHOW:
    This is the sixth year of my annual two-night family Christmas show, filled with wonderful old rare radio shows, stories, songs, and culminating in the second night (tomorrow) with the old and rare reading by author Truman Capote of his own poignant "A Christmas Memory."
    You'll hear music by Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, and others singing holiday classics, as well as old radio performances of holiday classics, and some you've never heard. The stories vary from year-to-year, but always great nostalgic holiday fare.
    Gather your family around, have a cup of hot cocoa, eggnog, or just a cup of good cheer, and enjoy.
    Tomorrow night's show will be deleted afterward and only available for listening live each year, when I switch things up and put together a warm and hopefully memorable holiday program for you.
    Merry Christmas, and happiest of holidays to everyone. I wish you each a new year of good health, and abundant peace.
    Thank you to all of my listeners from the bottom of my heart.
