For reasons of timing and geography, I’ll be celebrating the holidays this week. One of the things I’m repeating from last year is that several people will recieve cd’s of music I’ve put together for them as gifts. Today I’ve been finalizing all those and thought it might be fun to share some of the music with all of you here.
I’ve made a holiday playlist that I’m calling “Cool Yule” after miss Bette’s recent rendition:
How about a little coolness from the great Luther Vandross?
What’s on your Christmas list? I’m sure we’re all wishing with Natalie.
Stevie’s got some wishes for Christmas too.
But my favorite will always be the one that John left us.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!
