21 - Songs of Christmas, Midwinter, and New Year

An admittedly cursory holiday mix presenting performances from our new digital release, "Songs of Christmas, New Year, and Midwinter from the Lomax Collection," available now on the Lomax Archive's Bandcamp page as well as the streaming services. We invite you to pair this mix with our older holiday-themed episode , which features other related material (if some occasional overlap) and the complete "Sing Christmas" program.
