Despite less crowds at the malls, fewer Salvation Army Kettles, and the absence of snow, it's really starting to look a lot like Christmas in the Windy City Irish Radio studios. The Christmas spirit is alive and well and filled with hope and the joy of the season. Today's show is filled with an abundance of Christmas spirit featuring Irish American crooner, Bing Crosby, a new single from those sundrenched Byrne Brothers, a revived Jim Reeves classic by Daniel O'Donnell, a live performance from Ben-David Warner, an unearthed Windy City Irish Radio classic from the Bard of WCIR, Rory Makem, a new ditty by New York songstress, Tara O'Grady, a glimpse into Christmas in Ireland by Brendan Shine, the Clancy Brothers sing a song about the man who doesn't get the credit he's due during this Christmas season, a fruit cake classic from the Irish Rovers, and a Shane McGowan classic covered the the Wild Colonial Bhoys, the Dropkick Murphy's provide humorous insight to holiday family gatherings, the Rockabilly Irish Queen, Imelda May, graces us with the finest of fine Christmas songs, and Keith and Kristie spread the word of the new born king. All this and an update on Mike's Christmas shopping right here on Windy City Irish Radio. Tune in each Sunday afternoon from 12noon to 1pm on WNDZ 750AM or catch the podcast at www.windycityirishradio.com.
