PROGRAM NOTES:
It's the 2nd annual "Not Your Father's Christmas Record Collection" edition of What's Next! Featuring a mix of some old classics, some novelty songs, and some rarities from the 40's and 50's. I started off the show with a reading of "The Night Before Christmas" by Louis Armstrong, with backing music provided by The Vince Guaraldi Trio.
