PLAYLIST FOR “MUSIC TO BE THANKFUL FOR 2014” (11.29.14)

Thanks to all of the listeners and special thanks to all of the WMNR broadcasters who all came up with music they were thankful for this year.  It was an eclectic and very personal show and I was happy just to sit back and play it all. I also hope you caught the show because it featured a live, in-studio version of “‘Round Midnight” by composer/lyricist/pianist Cody Owen Stine.
