Yes, your Listening Lyrics producer was back in the studio. With one heck of a show.
Songs by Nils Petter Molver, Brotherly Mud, Ekimi, The Beatles, The Trials of Cato, Fairport Convention, and even a tune written by Charlie Chaplin. Some holiday stuff, a song about Thomas Paine, and so much more. It's the last show of the year, so hope to see or hear you all next year.
Happy holidays, merry Christmas, and all the best for 2022.
