A special Christmas edition of Tuesday In the Forest, with former host Richie Wohlfeil returning for a great night of holiday music and more. As a very special bonus, Fred Thomas (Saturday Looks Good to Me, Swimsuit, Lovesick, etc) played a solo performance, and Richie did a rare solo performance as well! Recording of the set and performances are below! Richie showed up a little late, so for the first half hour or so I kicked off the night by playing the full sides of two of the greatest Christmas instrumental albums – The Ventures’ Christmas Album and Christmas with Big Tiny Little.
