Counting down the days.... to Christmas, counting down the minutes...to The 8 Track Cafe. Today on the show, host Terry Dactyl dons his ugliest Christmas sweater and stuffs your stocking with classic rock treats from the ghosts of Christmas past.

Today starting at 2PM/MT he features The Stampeders, Nazareth, Bobby Darrin, Alan Parsons and Jefferson Starship. Terry also spins a couple of 80's rarities from XTC and The Tubes.

It's all free right here on THE FOSSIL. A LIVE365 Station.

Programming note, were giving the over saturation of Christmas music a rest this year.... but we will be spinning Christmas classics though from Christmas Eve until Boxing day morning. Music to open presents by :> but in the spirit of frugality....
