Festival Christmas, my annual Christmas present to the world, is back on the air at http://www.live365.com/stations/folkchristmas . Actually, a better way of putting it is that it is now free to listen to for all, rather than just for live365.com VIP Members.
You’ll hear the same great variety of Christmas tunes as years past - traditional, folk, bluegrass, Celtic, world, folk/rock, Cajun/Zydeco, novelty and more.
