Into The Woods With Stewart Strauss

The What Year Is This Stew Strauss New Year's Day Eclectic Electric Radio Special (S01, E04)

While going deep into the cavernous hermetically sealed vault below the Into The Woods With Stewart Strauss Recording Complex, I ran across a Christmas Eve Radio Special I put together for a progressive FM radio station in Truckee, California. My love and passion for an eclectic blend of holiday music began on X'MAS Eve, a few years earlier, when I was on the air at KTHX (The-X) in Reno, Nevada. Bruce Van Dyke, (my boss, program director, mentor and the guy giving me a chance,) left a box of CD's in the booth and said "have fun!" I had a lot more than just fun. I heard from old and new friends, the boss and anyone else that called in while I was on the air. These are some of my favorite holiday songs that represent several generations and lots of fun genres. From Louis Armstrong to Jimi Hendrix, and all points in between. It may be the most eclectic holiday show you've never heard. Better late than never! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Yours truly, Stewart Strauss P.S.
