Never quite finished

Alright...I think that's where I'll wrap it up in listening to Christmas music from my collection on Christmas Eve...

...Wait...No...Arrrrgggghhhh...KWMU is playing Peter, Paul & Mary's "A'Soalin'" during a break.  How have I not thought to listen to that yet?  For that matter, why haven't I listened to Stevan Pasero's cover of it, spelled "A Soul'n," on guitar?  Those are at least two tracks I have to play today.

Also, I need to get to at least one more Shawn Colvin Christmas tune.  Her voice conveys a warmth and innocence that's perfect for the holiday.  I've already listened to my favorite cover of hers, "Little Road To Bethlehem," but I need to hear more.  

Then again, Christmas is, in large part, about being home for the holidays, so I ought to play "Celebrate Me Home" by Kenny Loggins, as well as Al Jarreau's cover of it.

Also, I haven't listened to as much Lou Rawls Christmas music, as usual, this year.  And, what about Joan Baez?

I feel like the man pursuing the horizon in that Stephen Crane poem.
