Accordion Guy Advent Calendar, Day Six: Tom Robinson’s "The Joy of Christmas"

For day 6 of the Accordion Guy Advent Calendar, how about something a little more Christmas-related? Here’s The Joys of Christmas [5.1MB, MP3], an essay written and narrated by British musician, DJ on BBC’s excellent 6 Music radio station and all-round cool guy Tom Robinson. Tom’s show is The Evening Sequence

and runs from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 pm UK time (2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Eastern Standard Time). The music selection is quite good and he often

has great interviews and presentations to boot.

(Those of you around my age may remember Tom’s songs: Power in the Darkness, 2-4-6-8 Motorway, War Baby and Atmospherics. Accordion City residents may remember Atmospherics as Listen to the Radio, which was also covered by odd-but-good band The Pukka Orchestra.)

    That was a Canada-wide hit, as I recall; as was their other hit, "The Cherry Beach Express".
