Title: Christmas 2012 playlist
Post by: Localonthe8s on December 15, 2012, 01:24:03 AM
Saw a lot of talk about the playlist in the December thread so I figured starting a topic about the playlist (now that it started) was appropriate. I hope Linus and Lucy and I saw three ships are on it!

I'll admit that I was wrong about the kind of music I was expecting. I'm very glad there are many traditional, non-vocal songs chosen.

Title: Re: Christmas 2012 playlist
Post by: phw115wvwx on December 15, 2012, 02:59:09 PM
I think you all should be quite happy with this list.  I imagine there will be a few new ones slipped into the primetime slot with mostly classic songs in other lists.

As am I. :wacko: It was instrumental and the end of it was apparently when the LF ended.

EDIT: Here it is.

Local Forecast - Unknown 2012 Holiday Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBOkXfAnk1A#ws)

EDIT #2: The song is entitled as "Morning Joy" by Neil Cross. Shazam ID'd it and I google'd it and came up with a match. :D

Since they play songs with vocals they could use both.
