The Holiday Show
Our annual holiday show proved to be the best yet, with Brian Libbey (Host of the Accidental Blues) joining us in-studio to pick out a variety of both traditional (and not-so-traditional) T&T holiday favorites. We also gave out copies of Robert Earl Keen's new album "Walking Distance" to the first person to call in when we played both "Merry Christmas from the Family" and "Happy Holidays Y'all".
