Hello my fellow Alchemites and Confluxians. Winter has been coming for a long time and YES>>>>>>It is here. So grab a nog, a slog, some grog or a local hog, and let’s celebrate all that is cold with some winter songs and good company to warm our hearts. This is the time of year to remind ourselves of our commonality and celebrate our differences. So don’t be generic in your holiday greetings. Here’s how it works. If you celebrate Christmas and you are greeting someone who celebrates Chanakkah…….say Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukkah, and the other responds Happy Chanukkah and Merry Christmas….this way you acknowledge your own beliefs and theirs as well. Same goes if you don’t know….you offer yours, they offer theirs and you acknowledge both. All beliefs are valid even if your belief is I don’t believe……so…enough of my soapbox….here’s the set list. Happy Christosolstifestikwanzikkahus…..and a Jim Neighbors too.
One last thing. Next week my show will be hosted by Skeevy. They have a great four hour show for you, so check in early at 8pm on 12/29/2021.

Welcome back fellow Confluxians. The Alchemist here to guide you through another wild ride. Tonight’s show is called a Skatterbox Session. The first of many.

Some apologies in order as the Mic setting had me sounding very very far away for the first half of the show…..this set list below will help with that as you listen to the podcast.
