| This is one of my favourite shows of the year, and takes a lot of preparation. The biggest job is eliminating at least 100 songs from the available choices! A big "Thank you" to fellow CiTR DJ Paul Norton for his annual Christmas Corral samplers, containing weird and wonderful - and often rather obscure - Christmas songs. Finding the correct record label is challenging, but worth it! | ||||
