 Hello all and happy December! With Christmas right around the corner some of the Song of the Day Friday members have gotten into the Xmas spirit! Let's see what we have this week! Mr. T, kick us off please!

Mr. T

Dr. John - "Peace Brother, Peace"

Gingerbread-Man

Sabaton - "Christmas Truce"

My first introduction to this Swedish heavy metal group is an epic Christmas tune! Finally someone does the legendary Christmas Truces story from the first World War justice through song. It's an amazing story and one that makes me stop and think. Especially during this time of year. Be good to each other everyone. Always.

Doug

Twenty One Pilots - "Migraine"

Dano

Xavier Rudd - "Stargaze"

Jolly HP

Bing Crosby - "Mele Kalikamaka"

Mike D

TBD

J.B.

Joe Jackson - "Got The Time"

Dec 9, 2016

It's theme month December! Last week was a Dano theme and this week Rob takes us back in time. He wanted to hear about our favourite songs that were introduced to us via gift. Whether it was a new CD or a mix that someone made for us....his pick was from a CD that he borrowed from a roommate so many times that the roommate eventually just gave him the album. Let's see what it was

Rob

At The Drive-In - "Proxima Centauri"

Mr. T

The Eagles - "Pretty Maids All In A Row"

Or as Mr. T calls it "Pretty Little Maids" - G-Man

G-Man

Jakalope - "Feel It"

I went a little nuts and picked 3 songs. Usually i'm the guy who made the mix cds for people (usually ladies), because I love introducing people to new tracks. I feel it's one of my 4 purposes on this Earth. It was a fun assignment to think of times when that table was turned. One lady in my home town surprised me with a great mix and I was eager to listen to it. A few songs from that CD have become G-Man staples. The 3rd pick here is from the same mix, but Jakalope's "Feel It" holds a special place in my memory...always think of her when I hear it

Guster - "One Man Wrecking Machine"

I think I picked this one before, which is why I did a third one. This one was introduced to me via a DVD of animated music videos. Guster has since become one of my favourite acts. Thanks YP!

Finley Quaye - "Dice"

See the first write up. Sh'yeah

Doug

Maestro Fresh Wes - "Let Your Back Bone Slide"

Doug's pretty sure he got Symphony In Effect on cassette as a Christmas gift in his younger years... - G-Man

Dano

Xavier Rudd - "Message"

Dano is pretty sure both these songs were introduced to him by pretty brown haired girls. I can relate to that - G-Man

Alabama Shakes - "Hold On"
