Accordion Noir radio playlist 2022-12-21: Snowy Night, Solstice Night

“Winter” by Schulman

We’re releasing this week’s episode of CFRO Co-Op Community Radio’s weekly Accordion Noir broadcast a little early this week as it is on seasonal themes and, gosh, it’s hard to get a winterier feeling than right now in these parts, temperatures sub-zero beneath a massive dump of white powder. You will find a reference to this time of year or type of weather in almost every song Bruce has selected for inclusion in this week’s program. If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to the episode’s availability yet, you can enjoy listening to it as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive. Here’s its playlist:
