I definitely bow to the master when it comes to Leeann and her Christmas music collection. She’s pulled out some keepers that I didn’t even know existed for this list.

That’s been a tradition for close to 20 years now.

John Denver and the Muppets are delightful and the Bela Fleck and Flecktones was really really interesting. I’ll bet that was hard to figure out!

Tom, I’m glad you look forward to the Christmas coverage. More to come next week.

…not to be missed and as always great fun guys.
