GPB's Midday Music today serves up secular meat-and-potatoes classical staples with garnishes and sides of Christmas tunes.
On Thursday and Friday, GPB brings you special Christmas programs in lieu of Midday Music. Next week, December 28-31, please join my Savannah co-hosts Eric Nauert and Russell Wells as they host Midday Music statewide (their playlists live here). Friday, January 1 we bring you waltzes and more on New Year's Day from Vienna.
Here's a list of all our holiday programming on GPB Radio and GPB TV. I'll be back January 4. Till then, happy holidays, merry Christmas and a wonderful 2010 to you and yours!
