A wide variety of holiday music; some serious and beautiful and some not. Tom Lehrer, National Lampoon and Bill Cosby provided some humor. Laurie Anderson, Bruce Cockburn LOW all have (what some would view as) songs that could become classics.
Old blues, gospel and hillbilly tunes keep that roots thing going while Suzy Snowflake and those 3 elves Hardrock, Coco Joe bring a nostalgic tear to those from the greater Chicago area.
We heard light Opera - Ahmal and the Night Visitors. We heard a 100+ year old music box and some weird story with Superman saving Christmas and the White House...all in 2 hours.
