Greetings all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is the end of the week, and so I will remind you to grab this week\u2019s edition of the Funky16Corners Radio Show.<\/strong> This year, instead of a Christmas-themed show, you get the third and final part of the<\/p>\n

\"Example\"
\n<\/strong>
\nHistory of Allen Toussaint.<\/strong> You can subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes, listen on your mobile devicevia the TuneIn app, or grab yourself an MP3 at the blog.<\/p>\n

_________________________________________________________<\/p>\n

Since this week’s Friday post falls on Christmas Day, I thought I’d gather together a selection of favorites from Christmases past, and whip together a Funky16Corners holiday mix.<\/p>\n

These should all be familiar, and there are a couple tunes that show up twice (vocal and instrumental), but they should provide a festive accompaniment \u00a0to the burning of the Yule log.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it, and whether you celebrate Christmas or not, that you have a fantastic day!<\/p>\n

See you on Monday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
