The program had something of a Christmas theme but still with a featured album, DOWN HARMONY ROAD by RAGGED BUT RIGHT (Merriweather Records).  The title is apt.  Kathy Reid-Naiman and Arnie Naiman, with friends on some tracks, present lots of great old harmony song 'classics' mostly from the 1920s and 1930s and it would require almost superhuman willpower to not sing along.  The following tracks were scattered through the program:
