    I can’t believe it’s not Crackleton : Orthodox Xmas Eve

    A podcast of pre-1951 recordings connected to countries where Orthodox Christianity is the single-largest religion,  grabbed off the live radio airwaves over San Francisco yesterday on the Eve of Orthodox Christmas. It’s got that same rich Crackletonney taste, but only a fraction of the calories. Happy 2014!

    GrooveOnTheWireless60

     

    Groove On the Wireless hit’s the 60’s and possibly needs a haircut, but is not so sure what they bring, so will continue to expect more of the same; good music.  Music that might make you run dancing through the streets sometime, or possibly make you reach for the volume control and make you turn it up, tune in and drop out, for a while, sure what’s the harm in that? (As long as you’re not driving or operating machinery)

    • The Beta Band – Rhododendron
    • Thelonious Monk – Trinkle, Tinkle

    The Christmas special – it is a cracker with  good music, and silly tunes but what makes it special is being joined by me mammy  for her wit, wisdom and laughter.  The Dr. has a reputation for being a bit Bah Humbug – but he loves festivals of laughter, light and friendship as much as anyone else.  As the legendary Kai will tell you, you are worthwhile and deserving of respect and you have my love.
