Tastes Of Honey December 18 & 25 2014(and a little bit of Jammin’)
Hard to believe that 2014 is almost over. 52 ‘Tastes Of Honey’,- lots of songs – some old, some new, some borrowed, some blue BUT all chosen for your enjoyment.This week December 18, lets ease into the holiday season and listen to 10 artists each singing one holiday song(not specifically christmas songs but seasonal music)and one secular song. Featured from top far left are
Andy Williams, Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Sol E Mio, and Chris Rea. Second row featured far left to right are Eartha Kitt ,Sting, Pentatonix, Idina Menzel and Australia’s own Human Nature.
Then on Christmas Day, from 7.00 a.m. through to 10.30 a.m. I will be filling in on ‘Jammin’ plus segueing into ‘A Taste Of Honey’and I have put together 60 songs over three and a half hours, that will include music for all at this ‘the most wonderful time of the year.’
There are songs from christmas carols to modern holiday classics,featuring Peggy Lee & Billy May, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Dave Brubeck, Louis Armstrong, Straight No Chaser, Adam Sandler, Pink Martini, Delta Goodrem & Gurrumul Yunipingu, Bing Crosby & David Bowie, Michael Buble, Barenaked Ladies & Sarah McLachlan and many more.
I love this time of the year – I enjoy the music and the spirit shown by all towards each other – its great giving gifts and receiving them, sharing meals and a glass of bubbly or pinot noir or pinot gris – I enjoy being part of the traditional channukah celebrations with my family and also the holiday time that is Christmas and into the New Year.
Enjoy the holiday season and the music, travel safely if you are going away and stay with the programme on Eastside 89.7fm.
