Holiday On the Edge

December 06, 2002

I started Holiday on the Edge in 1996 on my college radio
station WMWC as a show to offer up an interesting holiday-
themed show that combined traditional music of the season with
some definitely not-so-traditional music. This is the fifth
edition of the show, recorded December 6, 2002, when I
returned to Fredericksburg 4 1/2 years after I graduated.
There were all sorts of technical problems with the recording
and (especially) the microphones, so I'm not totally pleased
with the airbreaks on this particular show, but I cleaned it
up a bit so it's still enjoyable (I hope!).

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a dead mic!
