Music and stories are Christmas traditions

After the presents have been opened, the turkey has been eaten (some of it at least), and it's Christmas night when you can hopefully enjoy a bit of well deserved down time. Why not pour a glass of your favourite Christmas cheer and join me for some Christmas traditions, tonight from 09:00 until midnight North American Eastern Time on Mushroom FM.
Hi, I'm Steve Cutway. In the first hour, you'll hear a Vinyl Cafe Christmas Concert recorded in December 2012 in Seattle. The late Stuart McLean hosted The Vinyl Cafe on CBC Radio from 1996-2015 and his stories are well known and loved by Canadians everywhere. Stories from The Vinyl Cafe are available on a podcast called Backstage at the Vinyl Cafe with a new episode every Friday.
Hour 2's stories feature the man I consider to be Stuart McLean's alter ego, America's Garrison Keillor, host of the long running A Prairie Home Companion on American Public Radio and at least one Canadian radio station. You'll hear him retell the Christmas Story as only he can, and the news from Lake Wobegon, the highlight of his weekly radio show.
In hour 3, the late Alan Maitland, longtime CBC radio broadcaster, will read Hoodoo McFiggan's Christmas by Stephen Leacock and The Shepherd by Frederick Forsyth, the novella he wrote as a Christmas present for his wife who asked him to write her a ghost story for Christmas. The Shepherd has run almost continuously on CBC Radio in Canada on Christmas eve since 1979.
Around the stories will be season appropriate music.
So relax with me, Steve Cutway, and Christmas Traditions, Christmas night from 09:00 PM until midnight , on Mushroom FM, the home of the fun guys.
In North America, we say, "Merry Christmas". In much of the world, they say, "Happy Christmas". I wish you both. And thanks for being a part of the Mushroom FM family.
