ROCK THE VOTE!

 

 

We're getting ready for our final "MUSIC ON THE MENU LIVE" show of 2013,

and you can help us pick the songs!

 

  

Hello everyone,

On Sunday, December 22, I’ll be doing my annual “Music On The Menu Live Holiday Special.”  I’ve been doing this show on the Sunday before Christmas for about seven years now, and it’s always one of my favorite programs of the year. Throughout the entire hour, I’ll be playing Christmas music being performed by our own NEPA artists. Some of the songs will be from local artists offering their renditions of holiday classics while others will be original compositions. And, like last year, I’ll have a few special guests in the studio. Hope you can tune in. It’s always a fun show.

On Sunday, December 29, I’ll be doing my last show of 2013. It’s been a great year for “Music On The Menu Live,” as the show found a new home at 105 The River. I’ve now been at The River since early October and I couldn’t be happier with how things are going. The show is on a great station, right in the middle of your FM dial, and you can also listen online. We’re commercial free each week and we podcast the show  each week, so if you miss it on Sunday night, you can listen to it whenever it’s most convenient for you. We’re broadcasting right from Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, one of the hottest spots in town, we're still sponsored by The Weekedner, and I’m working with a great producer, Lobo, who brings both fun and professionalism to each show. It’s been all good, and since Lobo and I want to end 2013 on a fun note and thank you for listening, we’ve decided to let you program the final “Music On The Menu Live” show of the year. Below you will find the playlist of every show we’ve done since the show moved to 105 The River on October 6. For those shows, I picked the songs. For our final show of 2013, you'll pick the songs. To vote, just look through each playlist and then send me a message of five of your favorite songs that we played on the show since October. The 12 songs that get the most votes will get played on the December 29 edition of "Music On The Menu Live."

Again, just take a look at all of the playlists below and send your favorite five songs to musiconthemenu@comcast.net or send me a message at www.facebook.com/musiconthemenu
