The Christmas mix has left the building

Submitted by Reese on Sat, 12/26/2009 - 8:29am

I've also added some Earl King, Lightnin' Hopkins, Louis Prima, Son House, Mose Allison, and more than 250 songs from Gov. Jimmie Davis, which accounts for more than 12 hours of the playlist. The entire playlist is now 16.5 days long, with 6,836 songs.
