Hi All!

We're very excited to be bring back some fun shows for this weekend (and introduce a new one)!

First, we invite you to Wolfman Jack's Christmas Party! This is a two-hour Christmas special that Wolfman Jack hosted, featuring some of his own holiday thoughts and skits, along with some of his favorite seasonal songs!

You can tune in to Wolfman Jack's Christmas party Saturday night at 10:00pm (Eastern). And if you aren't able to catch it this weekend, we'll be airing it again next Saturday at 7:00pm (Eastern).

Leading up to Wolfman Jack's Christmas Party this Saturday is a very special treat from Casey Kasem. We'll be airing Casey's original Christmas Countdown from 1971, featuring the top forty Christmas songs of all time (at least up until that point).

You can tune in to the Christmas Countdown this Saturday at 7:00pm (Eastern). We'll air it again next Saturday at 9:00pm (Eastern), so you'll have one more chance to catch it next weekend!

And this Sunday at 8:00pm (Eastern), we'll be airing a special edition of Dick Clark's Rock, Roll and Remember, featuring stories and some of your favorite Christmas songs from the Rock and Roll era!

Hope you can join us for some fun, holiday nostalgia this weekend!

New Music Weekend On The Way

12/2/2019

This coming weekend we're doing something special on the Sounds of Christmas!

Part of the reason I originally started this station was because I felt that, year after year, there are lots and lots of great Christmas music that never gets on the radio. Instead, it's often the safe list of songs you know by heart (and that you're sick of by the first of December).

So far for 2019, I've added over 500 new songs to our library. And there's new stuff coming out every day!

I've taken some of the best of it and am going to showcase it this coming weekend for a New Music Weekend! All day Saturday and Sunday, you'll get nothing but newly released songs. Some are from artists you know and love, and some are from singers and bands you may not have ever heard of. Some songs you'll know, and some will be new to you.

While everything we play this coming weekend will be new, some of it may not seem so new. There's a Stone Temple Pilots song that they recorded live over twenty years ago, but it now getting an official release (on the anniversary edition of "Purple"). Also, you'll hear Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and Doris Day (among others) - they're all featured on new releases where their original vocals have been used with newly-arranged music performed by the London Symphony Orchestra (for Bing) and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (for the others).

You'll also hear new songs from artists a little more current, the Jonas Brothers, Adam Lambert and Idina Menzel. Plus artists that fall somewhere in between, like Chicago, Mariah Carey and Robbie Williams. And many others that you may be hearing for the first time!

I hope you like what you hear. And if you come across something that you really love, I hope you click on it and buy it (or Shazam it so you can go grab it later)!

Thanks so much for spending part of your holiday with us! Hope you always believe in Santa Claus!
