Mulligan Stew Dec 25th 2021-The Christmas Stew/Christmas in the Round Rediscovered!

The DAY has arrived.

That one day, when most of The World pauses for Christmas and the Holidays!

For many, it’s a religious time. For others, it’s a gathering of “the clan”. Family and dear friends. Unfortunately for some, it’s the loneliest day of the year.

So. How to create two hours of music that becomes a warm backdrop to all those listeners.  That was the assignment I gave myself.

The first hour features songs that give a sense of time and place. Some aren’t even Christmas songs but they speak to the feelings of the season.

HOUR TWO features a  lost episode of Christmas in the Round.

Its from the first Christmas at Roundhouse Radio in Vancouver’s East Side.

It’s a tribute to Christmas specials that Roy Forbes, Shari Ulrich and I did way back in our CBC Radio days.

The “gathering” included road warriors Barney Bentall, Craig Northey (Odds), Jim Byrnes, Shaun Verreault (Wide Mouth Mason) plus originals Roy Forbes and Shari Ulrich.

Trading songs and stories for an entire second hour of this Christmas Stew.

I hope you like this Christmas Day Christmas Stew. I was moved just putting it together.

Now, I’m going to see the one person I know who is alone and let him know he’s loved and surrounded by friends.

Maybe leave him a dram or two.

Is there someone you know is alone this Christmas?  I can only hope this music will lift your soul the way it did me.

Have a warm and wonderful  Christmas.  We will meet again on New Years Day.

Terry
