Hey gang, I’ve missed a lot of time this year for various health reasons, and it puts a strain on LPM staff when I can’t make it. So I decided to bring on a guest-host for those times when I can’t make it. Someone whose knowledge and passion for roots music rivals my own. An experienced broadcaster with a professional delivery. It’s just a coincidence that he looks a bit like me. Please welcome Jason Falls to the Roots n' Boots family. He’ll make his first appearance this Sunday as I recover from bronchitis.

Sorry guys, I’m not gonna be able to do Roots n' Boots today. I feel better but still not hearing well from my left ear and wearing headphones is not a good idea with an ear infection. But don’t worry, the magicians at 91.9 WFPK have a classic Christmas show of mine from the past to run instead.
On today's show, a lot of longtime favorites with holiday tunes mixed in. Nothing really current or new, just known and lesser-known nuggets to enjoy. Enjoy! 3-6pm on 91.9 WFPK!

Hey gang, it’s time to raise some cash for Louisville Public Media today on Roots n' Boots. I promise not to blather on about it as long as the donations keep rolling in.
