Ruby Slippers Radio December 25, 2020 7-8 pm

 Hey hey everybody (or I should I say ho ho? 😀)

Here is the annual Xmas spectacular or extravaganza or whatever you wish to call it. This year is more traditionally based. No tracks about Santa's brains or zombies or stuff like that although I could not leave Frank the Christmas Turkey out of the mix, could I?

It has been a year for the books and I personally am so grateful for your continued support. It makes it a joy to put these shows together knowing someone out there might find a song or two to brighten the day.

Anyhow, before the eggnog starts talking here is the playlist (btw, in what alternate universe did someone think putting raw eggs into a drink was a good idea? Yikes.)

Present Face ... Garfunkel and Oates (always start with this one.)

Father Christmas ... Platinum Blonde *

Happy Holidays ... Glass Tiger and Roch Voisine *

I Believe In Father Christmas ... Emerson Lake and Palmer

Holly Herald ... Jethro Tull

The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot ... Nat King Cole (see the doc "Jingle Bell Rocks" for more insight)

Song For A Winter's Night ... Sarah McLachlan *

Hounds of Winter ... Sting (not Xmas but it's Sting for heaven sakes)

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas ... James Kasper * (love the lo fi quality of this track)

Silent Night ... The Jingles * (Canada's only Christmas band)

What Better Time Than Christmas ... Ghost Cousin *

Peace on Earth ... Greg Clarke * (to the rescue!)

This Christmas ... Peter Foldy *

Christmas With You ... James Collins *

FRANK THE CHRISTMAS TURKEY ... Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadours 

Christmas Don't Be Late ... the Chipmunks (ALVIN!!!)

White Christmas (extro)... Jingle Cats (and Dogs)

Be merry, stay safe, remain kind and bottoms up.

Will check in on January 1.

Much love and thanks for listening

Lyrics for the above are here: (sing loud and strong!)

Name your price
A ticket to paradise
I can't stay here any more
And I've looked high and low
I've been from shore to shore to shore
If there's a short cut I'd have found it
But there's no easy way around it

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer

Who knows why
Someday we all must die
We're all homeless boys and girls
And we are never heard
It's such a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely world
People turn their heads and walk on by
Tell me, is it worth just another try?

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer (let it shine)
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer (you know the answer is love)

Tell me, are we alive, or just a dying planet?
What are the chances?
Ask the man in your heart for the answers

And when you feel afraid, love one another
When you've lost your way, love one another
When you're all alone, love one another
When you're far from home, love one another
When you're down and out, love one another
All your hope's run out, love one another
When you need a friend, love one another
When you're near the end, love
We got to love, we got to love one another

Light of the world, you got to shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all (know that love can save the day)
Set us free
Love is the answer
(Just give it, just one more chance)

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer (love, love, love)
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer
(Lord you just can't let it stop, Lord)

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free.....

Thanks for listening

Hey kids!

Hope you are all hanging in there. Please stay safe and maintain social distancing. Hand washing honestly goes without saying too!

This week is another repeat presentation as I only got the new show ready at the last minute and the station has its hands full keeping content on the air. It would have been unreasonable to suddenly change my show this close to air time.

So...stay tuned for the first Ruby Slippers from the dining room here at the old hacienda next week.
In the meantime, this playlist was one of my favorites from last fall. Please note:

Next week is not Halloween. There will be no Spooktacular show.
The ticket giveaway is long over. If you contact me by email I will however respond to you personally.

The email address is carolbonciut@ciut.fm

Here goes

Swing Shift ... Nash the Slash *
Copy of A ... Nine Inch Nails (you just knew I could not get through this pandemic with NIN)
Eaten by a Bear ... deBra 666 *
I Krill You ... Helado Negro
Follow Me ... Dream Aria *
