TRADITIONS PLAYLIST, December 27, 2003
This week, the second of the holiday shows, included post-Christmas music; wassails and
new year music continue to 1/3. There were a couple of 60s classics and my very
favorite Sheffield carol.
TRADITIONS airs Saturday nights, 8 to 1, on 90.9, WETA in Washington, DC and 89.1,
WETH, Hagerstown, MD and streams on www.weta.org/fm
Folk music has been part of WETA’s programming since the station began in 1970; Mary
Cliff has been host/producer since 3/73.
