LIST 29 - 23/12/2009 (an Xmas special)

Hello again,

Oh go on, then – let’s finish off 2009 with a Xmas special... Something for everyone amongst this lot, unless you were after Cliff. I'm after Cliff myself, you know - with a foam rubber mallet.

Just Like Christmas is the finest festive song ever, incidentally, and that is not open for debate.

That Music List will return at some point in 2010 - same URL, same format, different tracks. Best wishes of the season to you all until then.
