Tyler Clark presents: Local Mythologies writes25 Off-The-Wall Holiday Tunes: Glenn Miller and His Orchestra, “It Happened in Sun Valley” (1941)
It's Christmas at CHIRP Radio, and we're looking for a cure for the common carol. Instead of bending to the will of the average 24-hour holiday muzak stations, we're spending the season unearthing a bunch of winter-approved tunes that you probably haven't heard for a while (or maybe even ever). Today: Glenn Miller takes his orchestra skiing.

The year is almost over, and that means it's time once again to look back and reflect on all the great music that's crossed our ears over the last 12 months. Throughout December, CHIRP's volunteers will document their favorite albums from 2015. Get ready for a list of artists, styles, and genres that will delight any music fan and maybe give you ideas for stocking stuffers for family, friends, or yourself (Remember, if you click on a link to buy an album from Amazon.com, CHIRP Radio gets a portion of your purchase as a donation).
At the end of December, we'll calculate all of the albums cited and put together a final list of CHIRP's favorite albums of the year. With half of the 2010 decade gone, we'll also take some time to reflect on the last 5 years as well as CHIRP's 5th anniversary. Check back all month to see what we have to say!
