Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the December 19 edition of Rocky 99 and Rocky 104.9's weekly local music program, "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 9 to 11 PM during football season on WRKW-FM (www.rocky99.com) and WRKY-FM (www.rocky1049.com).
This program was our annual Christmas Special. We featured 2 hours of local and regional Christmas and holiday music, including area musicians’ original Christmas song creations and their versions of time-tested holiday classics! While rock was the prominent flavor, we also heard some Christmas jazz from the Dave Single Trio, folk and Americana Christmas sounds from John Stevens and Blind Jonny Death, blues from Sweet Pea Felty with Darcie Miner and Fat Vinny & the Wiseguys, and more. We also reviewed a new local Christmas album, The Servello Family’s Wise Men Still Seek Him, in “The Professor’s CD Corner.†Hopefully this week’s show provided the appropriate backdrop for tree-trimming, cookies and eggnog!
Here is this week's playlist:

KENNY MURD ICK – “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemenâ€
