Hi Listeners,

At this time of the year an exclamation often heard is “where has the year gone it’s December already”. Wow, yes, it is December and it’s the month that marks the completion of the year and heralds in the festive season. December is a time for celebrating, holidaying, catching up with friends and family and listening to good music.

Rob is taking a holiday where he will be meeting up with Walter from Belgium (a regular listener of “Yesterday Once More”) and other friends in Asia. Meanwhile I will be with you presenting some great songs for the next few weeks. The 3 themes are based around the month of “December”, song titles starting with the letter “W” and the “Departed”, songs from singers who are no longer with us. As usual I look forward to being with you and sharing some great memories from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.
