Sonic Overload 12/20/10--Happy Holidays!

The annual holiday show is here. Two hours of festive favorites that you’re not likely to hear on those other radio stations, to say nothing of over the mall PA system. Truth be told, I’m ready for the end of the holiday season but I hope this provides an enjoyable accompaniment (antidote?) to this particular season.

Next week, I’ll be doing my best of 2010 show. Happy holidays
