Episode Notes
The Start of The Christmas Cone
Here’s what December and Mulligan Stew have in common.
We’re both like an ice cream cone.
Dec 1 we’re the tiny tip at the bottom but as the days come and go we get bigger and bigger until we become the delight at the very top. Just-Like-A Cone!!
December is a season that really comes alive with music. Not the cheesy Christmas songs that get beaten into submission every year but the ones that cause reflection, kindness, and comfort.
It’s just the start of “a tingly feeling”
It starts with two live tracks
Bob Dylan and The Band – All Along The Watchtower
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – An American Girl
Can you feel it….?
And then right back into an extended Duets Special – this time the songs requested by last week’s audience.
Taj Mahal and Los Lobos
Jenn Grant and Kim Harris
Buddy and Julie Miller
Van Morrison and Georgie Fame
Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks
Sonny and Cher
Tina and Adams
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss
Ray Charles and BB King
We throw in some Tedeschi Trucks/Leon Bridges, Harrison Kennedy, Rhiannon Giddens, Stones, James Brown, The Beatles (Rubber Soul), Blue Rodeo, Angela Strehli, Delbert McClinton, and Faces.
And we finish with a remembrance of Christine McVie and Frank Zappa.
TDM and Frank Zappa
Have a great December. Going to be a hell of an ice cream cone
