Now, let\u2019s talk Christmas Stories!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each of the last eight years I have asked a number of friends, musicians, comedians and others that I admired to record their definition of an original “Christmas story” to be interspersed throughout my marathon, alongside Snaildartha: The Story of Jerry the Christmas Snail, The all-Misfits-inspired sets, Ramones-o-Clock, Lindstrom’s “Little Drummer Boy,” The all-Fall Christmas set, Joel Phelps’ myriad pieces and other annual favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This addition has brought a new level of excitement to the program and made the tradition all the more special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In year 31, I\u2019m counting on YOU!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deadline for 2019 is December 20th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is a Christmas Story?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well…it can be a reading of a favorite Xmas tale, a cover of a holiday song you love or an original piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I leave that in your capable hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’d love to get so many recordings that I can once again debut one of these an hour throughout the marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Submissions can be sent to this email address<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My lone request is that you do not post your piece elsewhere before it airs during the show<\/strong>! Please! Afterwards knock yourself out, just mention the show<\/strong> when you do share on Bandcamp\/Soundcloud\/Et cetera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please spread the word and have a happy holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
