It's December already. Where did the year go? With only two shows left in 2010, it's time to get ready for the holidays and to figure out how to finish the year off properly. In addition, I was having phone problems all day so it was a nice surprise that once the show started, I was able to be heard.
John's guests this week were Stuart Ferguson & The Fashionistas. In four separate interviews, John had Stuart and the entire band(Fred Abatelli, Lori Diamond, Lynn O'Conor-Ferguson & Phil Punch) on the show. John Played some of the interviews before the "Den" and the rest after I was finished. Maybe John did that to keep Stuart's fans listening for the entire show? I wonder if it worked.
As for me, I had no real theme for this week's show. Since it's December, I decided to play a couple Christmas songs. Then there were a couple others that are songs that I really like that wouldn't normally get played on this show. And the rest were just things that I wanted to hear, plus George Cunningham.
I was contemplating playing a song from George Cunningham's album Stumblingham. For those that don't know George, he is the brilliant guitarist in The Graveblankets and is also a member of The Faux Frenchmen. While I was deciding which song to use, John emailed me to tell me that George had agreed to come on the show in 2011. After hearing that news, I HAD to play something from Stumblingham. Anyway, here's what we played:
George Cunningham - Art Carne
Terry Reid - Rich Kid Blues
Triumph - Suitcase Blues
Black Country Communion - One Last Soul
The Good Rats - Reason To Kill
Stick Men - Hands Pt. 1
The Kinks - Father Christmas
XTC - Thanks For Christmas
Squeeze - Christmas Day
The Status Quo - Black Veils Of Melancholy
Joe Jackson Band - Bright Grey
Don Dixon - Lottery Of Lives
The Dead Weather - Gasoline
Next week is our last show of the year. with almost a month off until our next show, I'll have to make this last one count. I'll be playing some music from our longtime listeners as well as throwing in a surprise or two. It's your last chance in 2010 to tune in, so give us a listen!
