Air date: 
Sat, 12/16/2023 - 6:00am to 9:00am
Three hours of country music in the holidays

This week's Swing’n’Country (Dec 16th 6-9 am) includes a salute to our feline friends, especially one who frequents my home studio - Jack the Cat.  It’s also a radio appreciation day in honor of K-Boo’s End of Year Campaign. Joni Mitchell, Alan Jackson, and Molly Tuttle proclaim their love of radio.  And we don’t forget the holidays: at the tail end of this program we address the key question:  Is Santa Real?  That’s up to you. 

You should check out the Swing’n’Country Christmas Special on K-Boo Christmas Day 7-8 PM. And please go to the Donate button at the top of the page support this listener-supported station. Thanks!

Happy Holidays to you!

Will
