Hey! Good to see ya back again. I hope you have been enjoying our “Sounds of the Season” here on Rhythms In Black Satin.

Before I get to rambling on about our third “Xmas RIBS” mix for 2009 let me just say that I do so very much appreciate you and all the readers and listeners of this site for popping in here and letting me share my love of music with you. May you and your loved ones have a safe, healthy and happy holiday season!

Now… on to the mix.

If you’ve been following RIBS around this time of year you know that I like to make Christmas mixes that are a little different. As much as I like all of the holiday music that the season brings, the one thing I dislike is hearing the same old standards over and over again in the weeks leading up to the big day. So back in 2007 I started doing my own take on Christmas putting together mixes featuring some great Soul/R&B, Jazz, Blues and Gospel that don’t usually get played very often. It’s been a lot of fun and everybody seems to like them a lot.

On today’s buffet table I’m serving up an uptempo Xmas mix called “A Funky Christmas 2009″. This is a bookend to the first mix of this type that you can find here. The Christmas holiday is a joyous occasion, time for visiting family and friends, relaxing and… partying! And a little funky Christmas music mix is just the thing to get it started!

Merry Christmas everybody!
