Podcast 72 - The Annual Christmas Show
I’ve done a Christmas Music show each year since this podcast started, but this is the first year I’ve been able to stick to my goal of using all music by local musicians. I hope you enjoy…
The first time I uploaded this file, it got cut off. Here’s the whole show!

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Gretchen Schulz and Doug Morgano
This Time Of The Year - Gretchen Schulz and Doug Morgano
Gretchen is a local treasure. A real talent and pretty well known for her work with the Pine Dogs (http://www.pinedogs.com/pre97/news/gretchen.html) yet, she doesn’t have a website of her own. I did find the videos at the top of the page.
Who Wants To Cry At Christmas - Mark Weber
Mark is a local Christian Music promoter who usually is sending me information about various shows for the calendar (wnypodcast.com/calendar) but he sent this song out for the season. Link: http://www.markjweber.com/
Christmas Must Be Tonight - The Dady Brothers
Link: http://www.dadybros.com/ The Dady Brothers are familiar to you if you’ve been to any of the Irish Festivals. They’re a very versatile and talented duo and I really like this song I found on another compilation CD. They play frequently at the Shannon Pub with shows coming up January 4 & 5
Huron Carol - Nan Hoffman and Joe Turmino from the CD Celebrations of the Heart
Nan lives on Grand Island and is well-known for her shows at schools and churches. She played recently in an annual Christmas concert here in Lockport and I had hoped to record some songs live, but she asked me to play the CD instead. Link: http://www.nanhoffman.com/
Christmas In The Trenches (John McCutcheon) - Nan Hoffman and Joe Turmino - Celebrations of the Heart
The show was supposed to end here, but at the last minute, I found some local Christmas music videos on You Tube… The videos are at the top of this posting, but I put the audio from one in the show:
It’s Christmas Time Again - Tom Stahl - from a You Tube Video
