The Yule Log From Hell 2023 - Episode 6 - YLFH30!!!!!!!

Well it’s hard to believe it but here we are! The Christmas Day Spectacular!!!!! This closes out year #30. Yes….30 YEARS!!!!! If you told me 30yrs ago that I would still be doing this I probably would have said that you were nuts. To use the cliché “labor of love” would not do it justice. This has been a musical journey of epic proportions. Some would call it insanity. That’s ok. I created YLFH as an alternative to the same old crap that’s being played on the local radio stations and even satellite. I’ve always strived to offer some unique holiday tunes. I hope you have enjoyed listening as much as I have putting all of this together for y’all.

None of this would ever be possible without the support of my family (Corin & Amanda) as well as all of my friends and supporters and all the blogs and trade pages and all of the folks who share in my obsession….yes it’s an obsession. Might as well lean into it.

I dunno what the future of YLFH is. I still believe I got a few more years in me. I’ll just keep doing it until you stop listening or I run out of tunes (which ever comes first).

Until we meet again –

Merry Christmas

Happy Hannukah (however it’s spelled)

Happy Kwanza

Happy Festivus

Or whatever you celebrate (or not) this time of the year.
