From our Facebook page:

You know Crosby and Como and Presley and Berry, Drifters and Ronettes and Beach Boys, all merry.... BUT DO YOU RECALL Christmas songs from Little Eva, Johnny Tillotson, and The Flirtations?

Tune in to Rockin' Remnants tomorrow (Sat the 21st, 6-9pm Eastern) to celebrate Christmas and the Winter Solstice with KV! Some songs you'll know, and some you probably won't, but they'll all ROCK! 93.5 in Ithaca, or streaming at wvbr.com/listen...

Today is the Winter Solstice, although the weather isn’t very wintry tonight!  We’ll be playing a mix of winter songs and Christmas songs -- mostly Christmas, given the weather.  We’ll hear them in chronological order by the year they were released, with a few exceptions.    

Congratulations to Chip for winning a Papa John’s pizza when he correctly identified Bobby Darin as the singer of Christmas Auld Lang Syne!
