Feliks Banel presents a special Christmas 2024 episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY, revisiting archival sounds from the 2010 Christmas broadcast of "Swing Years and Beyond" as produced and hosted by Amanda Wilde on KUOW 94.9 FM. "Swing Years" left the airwaves in 2017 and is still deeply missed, so it's very exciting to send out the voice of Ms. Wilde and her Christmas music selections over the FM airwaves once again (and via the livestream) for Christmas 2024 on CASCADE OF HISTORY. At the end of the show, we also sneak in a little tribute to American bandleader Glenn Miller, who disappeared 80 years ago - just before Christmas 1944, on a flight between England and France.
This edition of CASCADE OF HISTORY was broadcast at 8pm Pacific Standard Time on Sunday, December 22, 2024 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming via space101fm.org from studios at historic Magnuson Park – formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.
