Boots & Saddle Show - Episode 084: 2nd Annual Honky-Tonk Holiday Christmas Special
Boots and Saddle ShowShow Notes
This week we've got a nice mix of old, new and places in-between. We're spreading Christmas joy but we're not overlooking the dark side or the losers of Christmas either. How could we? You'll hear some Christmas tunes you might not have ever heard before along with some familiar classics from (hopefully and potentially) unfamiliar recordings/artists. I don't know. I don't know your life but I hope you have a safe and happy holiday and that you'll enjoy our offering this season. - - - BOOTS & SADDLE (2.0) | Episode 084 2nd Annual Honky-Tonk Holiday Christmas Special
