This is my first new show in about 4 weeks. The Christmas show was a smash as was the Thanksgiving show – and thank you for listening!
This week – since it’s still somewhat the holiday season until Monday January 5th – I decided to put up a new show that is true to the core of the show…but, with some nuance.
To me, any New Year is about rebirth, renewal & new beginnings. We get these everyday in the form of sunrise & sunshine. So, I have an around-the-world view of sunrise & sunshine in this show. The acts included in that set are below but they are all over the map from Cream to Stevie Wonder.
Happy New Year, everyone! May 2015 be as prosperous for you in every sense of the word as possible!
ENJOY!
