A few years ago I heard a Jerry Reed song "Christmas (W)r-a-ppin' on WBME & downloaded it from youtube. Now it's been taken down so I hope it'll get a spin

It should... It's in the rotation.

[at40fansince1984]

I always wanted to see a 24/7 Christmas station challenge just how much their listeners LOVE Christmas music by playing an hour or so of the same song just by different acts.

[Jeff Michaels]

Hoping for comments and suggestions.... Lay it on us!

[at40fansince1984]

How about the Christmas classic Red Peters Holy Poo It's Christmas or any song by cats meowing, dogs barking, cow mooing, frogs croaking or other animal sounds Christmas songs. Also can't forget laughing Jingle Bells & the Dr. Demento classic Porky Pig impersonation Blue Christmas.

[Jeff Michaels]

Some of that is in the Xmas Mixes. Definitely!

[Jeff Michaels]

If you enjoy the Joe Brucato songs, they're all on his BRAND NEW album. Message him and he'll sell you a copy. Mail it to you too!

Is one of his songs sort of r-a-p if so when it played before the CIA 2004 (I think) The Christmas Mix & CIA were fine but Joe's song played Chipmunk speed. I hope it was just that one & not all his songs.
BTW the facebook link you posted doesn't work now.

[at40fansince1984]

Yep another Joe Brucato song that plays chipmunk style before returning to normal.

[Jeff Michaels]

If you hear any. Let me know whats befire or after it so I can check on it.

[at40fansince1984]

That one was before the start of the CIA 2008 show.

[at40fansince1984]

Pick Up My Gtr and Play before the 12/25/82 MERC show played fast. It seems like all his songs have played fast but it goes right back normal into the ID & next show.

Wow, listening to MERC 12-25-82, just heard Wolf's version of "Papa was a Rolling Stone". ALWAYS loved the song, oddly enough, my father passed away September 3, 2014. So of course I love the song even more now... nothing in the song applies to my father but it's just a WONDERFUL groove throughout. Anyway, never knew about Wolf's version, I like it. I'm thinking Wolf is perhaps Peter Frampton's nephew maybe... I'll have to look that up. Thanks Jeff :-)

[Rodney]

So this "Wolf" is a guy named Bill Wolfer... always love learning about new stuff.... www.last.fm/music/Bill+Wolfer/+wiki

Hitting the jackpot today... Christmas Mix 28 had a song I liked that I'd never heard... the voice was familiar but couldn't figure it out... "sound hounded" it and discovered it was "The River" by Joni Mitchell. Awesome song...

[at40fansince1984]

Before the CIA 2012 another Joe Brucato song played fast.

Before the CRSC Christmas show another Joe Brucato song played fast.

[Jeff Michaels]

Damn. Guess I'll have to omit them. Just trying to help promote him. Not sure why the software is so picky.
