Radio Fragments

Happy Holidays, one and all. It's that time of the year when everyone has to play Christmas Music, and if that's the way the wind is blowing, let it not be said that I don't also blow.

This week, a great collection of remixed christmas songs, hilarious send-ups, interesting original pieces, and old standbys. There's Woody Herman from the 40s, and Bela Fleck From last year. Martin Mull sings "Superfly", Bob & Doug weigh in on the twelve days of Christmas, and Discordia sings the Boxing Day Blues.

As always, you can listen to the audio stream, or you can download MP3s from the links under each hour. Thanks for listening!

[Update: It seems like the stream starts about 10+ minutes into the show. I'm not sure what's up with that, but if you want to hear it from the start, go the MP3 route.]
