Good Morning. Great song choices. I know it's early in the show, but you're playing my most recent favourite Christmas song - Mary Had A Baby, by Bruch Cockburn. Apart from Emmylou Harris's "Light of The Stable", this is my go-to Christmas album for the last umpteen years.

I am enjoying the winter-themed music this morning! I agree with Chris that Sunrise II is a wonderful intro song. I have never tired of listening to it after more than 45 years. Hoping to hear Stan Rogers First Christmas Alone. Happy Solstice tomorrow and Happy Holidays to the Space Cadets!

Good morning! So glad you played your song That's Christmas. It's lovely, from your father's writing to your singing of it Chris. From one of the Christmas GOOSE albums. We had two sold out shows this year and the gift to the Food Bank will be epic. Merry Christmas!
