Tonic Jukebox History
WEEK 42 - 12 Days of Jukebox continued (12DofJB)
No long explanations, just an eclectic mix of music and video for the festive season inspired by a well known song. A new track (or two) every day for the next 12 days.
Special thanks to Bryan and my brother, Alan, for helping me to put this programme together. You all know Bryan and me, but most of you will not know Alan, so here is a photo of my brother and me. |
