December 2015: It was considerate of those 10 tabby cats to distribute Christmas-themed desserts.
Seven Sunday Christmas tunes worth hearing:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Joy To The World-The Staple Singers (An interesting, catchy fusion of gospel and country styles.)
- Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming-Elizabeth Mitchell and Friends (These captivating layered vocals must sound powerful in surround sound.)
- The Holly And The Ivy-Artisan (This vocal ensemble sings a less common bouncy, skipping arrangement of this carol. If you like this arrangement, you'll probably also enjoy Kate Rusby's version.)
- The First Noel-Nossa Bossa Nova (Pleasant, breezy Portuguese vocals that wouldn't be out of place on a smooth jazz station.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Frosty The Snowman-Marcus Roberts Trio (A tasteful, just-whimsical-enough piano-anchored rendition.)
- Sleigh Ride-John Pizzarelli (I'm glad to finally hear a radio station play this, as it's a fun, generally overlooked romp for piano and guitar.)
KWMU 90.7 FM
- White Christmas-Oliver Jones (Swingin' piano and guitar with an intro that brings "One Note Samba" to mind.)
