A fun, chill, unique throwback to Christmases when fondue pots and plastic covered couches were the norm! From classics to unknowns, and I mean literally we don't know who performed a few of these tracks - culled from my personal collection. Pull up a fiberglass rug and hang out with me - you never know who will show up: Lawrence Welk? Aretha? A high school choir? You'll just have to trust Kendo and listen in the player below. Merry Christmas and thanks for stopping by! (shares are greatly appreciated at Christmas time!)
Tuesdays on Mixcloud 5:00-6:30 pm eastern
