"Blue Christmas" - Anne Reburn
(Dec. 2021) 

Anne Reburn





Kicking off my first show...
that was a cover of Elvis Presley's
holiday hit "Blue Christmas" by
Anne Reburn, the lovely lady
of La La Land, along with her
singing clones, and before that,
the opening titles sequence of
season 12 of my hit television
forensics drama CSI: Crime
Scene Investigation and the
show's iconic theme song
"Who Are You" by The Who. 


Hi again! I'm Morgan Brody.
As you recall, I'm a CSI Level III
on my television series. Here at
 Shady's Place, I'm playing DJ
and hosting a radio show called

  CSI : COOL SONG     INVESTIGATION  

on S-P-M-M Retrosonic Radio.
I'm presenting cold case files
(dusty old records), searching
high and low for clues as I
probe unsolved mysteries,
like why didn't this song
or that song become a hit,
or why don't more people
know about this artist?
Now, I might look like your kid sister,
the girl next door or a fashionista mall rat... 


but, let me assure you, I'm a seasoned pro, meticulous
in my work. I dot every "i" and cross every genre to find
and play for you the best and coolest songs in the world.





Welcome to the official
launch of my new radio
series, a holiday special
featuring exciting and
talented female artists
from all over the
world performing
seasonal songs!

 COOL PLAY

 IF YOU'VE GOT THE TIME, 
 MILLER'S GOT THE CHEER  


That's right, Don Pardo.
It's time for the special
feature of my show, the
cool play of the day
introducing a great song that
has the word "cool" in the title.
Here's Audra Miller, front-
woman of a band with a cool
name, First To Eleven aka
F-211. Based in Erie, PA,
 First to Eleven is a pop
and alternative rock band
that derived its name from
a game called Volleybonk,
a mix of tennis and volley-
ball played with a yoga ball.
In Volleybonk, the first team
to score 11 points wins.

school, as the band performs a song that was a hit for the family indie pop
group Echosmith in 2013. Here's First To Eleven with-- "Cool Kids."

...now moonlighting as a Shady Bunch DJ, your hostess with the mostest on
  CSI : COOL SONG     INVESTIGATION.  

We're right in the middle of a 7-in-a-row commercial free
holiday cruise featuring some of the greatest female
artists in the world performing songs of the season. 
 
 EMILY, WHEREVER I MAY FIND HER  

"For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her" is the
title of a song written by Paul Simon.

Emily Linge
 I found this Emily in Dubai. She's Emily Linge...
a prodigious singer, songwriter, pianist and guitarist
with a large and enthusiastic following on YouTube.

Emily joins us to cover a song written and originally recorded in 1971
by Canadian singer and songwriter Joni Mitchell. Here's the wonderful
Emily Linge performing "River," a piano piece that over the years
has become a popular Christmas song.

Born and raised in Dubai, that was YouTube sensation
Emily Linge with her version of a song often played
during the holidays, Joni Mitchell's "River." 


 LUCY IN DISGUISE 
 (AS AN ORDINARY TEENAGER) 
 WITH DIAMONDS... 
 & MARTHA, MY DEAR 

Morgan Brody bringing you a special all-female holiday edition of
  CSI : COOL SONG     INVESTIGATION.  
on S-P-M-M... the station with heart, soul and spirit.

Lucy & Martha Thomas
At this time, I'm proud to introduce Lucy Thomas, an outstanding teenage
singer and recording artist from the city of Wigan in North West England,
home of the legendary Northern Soul club The Wigan Casino, and just
up the road from Liverpool, the burg that gave birth to The Beatles.

 Surely the area's rich musical history influenced Lucy to start performing at
an early age. She was a Semi-Finalist on "The Voice Kids," hosts a popular
 YouTube channel where she uploads her covers and originals, and she has
already released three albums. I think you'll agree that Lucy is an old soul. 

Lucy is here along with her gifted younger sister Martha to sing two
enthralling duets, both performances diamond quality gems. First,
the sister duo covers a song composed and first recorded in 2002
by the Norwegian-Irish duo Secret Garden. In the years since,
successful versions have been released by Josh Groban,
Westlife, Aled Jones and Celtic Woman.

Watch now and listen as these extraordinary young siblings, Lucy and
Martha Thomas, perform their inspiring version of "You Raise Me Up."

O hear the angel voices, as Lucy and Martha Thomas
now sing "O Holy Night."


"O Holy Night" - Lucy and Martha Thomas
(Dec. 2021)

It doesn't get any better than those two, Lucy and Martha Thomas
in the UK, with their awesome rendition of "O Holy Night,"
and before that, "You Raise Me Up."

Darn! Shady's waving me off already.


 I need to pack up my CSI kit and head back to the lab.


I hope you enjoyed meeting these outstanding
female artists from the four corners of the world.

Stick around. Coming up on the flip side of Gary Owens' news,
Del Rat Tom hosts volume 4 of the exclusive Shady's Place series

 SAVED BY THE BELL  DELL  

right here on S-P-M-M... the station that's #1 for music and fun.

CSI:
Cool Song
Investigation.
