<< Tropicology
We have just passed the Christmas crescendo of the holiday season… Each year at this time I try to bring you special programming, and today is my annual Winter Solstice episode, a chance for me to play some international music that evokes the same feelings we find in our own holiday music. In most cases these are not holiday songs, but they do promote holiday spirit, and that’s why you will hear them today.
