***ANOTHER CHRISTMAS SHOW - THIS ONE FOR BLUES LOVERS, GRANDMAMAS, SOULSTERS, GRANDPAPAS & GOSPEL FANS . . .

With the addition of this third Groovin' Blue show - WAGRadio has topped last years output for New World African Music holiday cheer.

This Groovin' Blue Soulful Xmas is derived from a series of tapes made available in the EAST END of Vancouver, Canada by Bill Reiter to his pals, associates and fellow music lovers during the 1970's to the 1990's.

In retrospect, they are a history of Black popular Christmas music from the late 40's to the end of the last century.

And now they are the basis of the latest Christmas Groovin' Blue special. Memo to wives - - this is why we never throw anything out!!!

Also, if you scroll down to REITER'S RECORDS (on the right) you will see a list of vinyl records enjoyed by DJZigZag's alter-ego from 1954 to 1986 . . .
