Hi everyone
Well, Dean is taking a well earned rest, and so Lulu and I get to laze around on the Sunday Sofa Session for this week, and there’s plenty in the show!
We looked at some of the top tens from this week in years gone by, and we thought 1988 was a particularly good one. So we’ll be counting that down in the last hour and sharing our memories of some of the songs.
Also we have festive favourites and other good music, so feel free to request whatever you would like.

I am the exploding DJ. It's that time of the week once again, where we get together and aimlessly explode for a while, taking our mind off the presents we haven't yet bought.
One of the great singer/songwriters of the 20th century, Harry Chapin, was born on 7 December 1942. He is one of my favourite musical artists of all time. He had that rare ability to capture a story and distill it in song. So, although we have plenty of holiday music in the mix, Harry Chapin is also our featured artist this week. We'll be glad to take your requests.

It's that time of the week again, where we forget our worries and explode for a while. How cool is this!
90 years ago today, Allan Sherman was born. He left us with some great pieces of comedy, and we'll be playing a few on the show. We'd be delighted to get your Allan Sherman requests.
It's also the 60th birthday of June Pointer of The Pointer Sisters. Now didn't they do some fine tunes, eh? So we'll also gladly take your Pointer Sisters requests.

Hi gang. Another week is over, another weekend is in flight, and of course all of the focus this time round has been on the USA with Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
However, tomorrow the roles are being reversed, as I reflect upon a prominent religious leader's thoughts about the state of modern Europe and see what you make of it. In a particular part of Europe celebrations will be especially evident this weekend, as it's St Andrew's Day on Sunday, and I'm sure some Celtic content will sneak its way into the show.

Hi everyone!
We all know it’s thanksgiving weekend, and I’d like to wish everyone in America a happy holiday!
We should always give thanks for what we receive, but it’s also important to be courteous and ask politely for what we need. So this week, the show is all about songs concerning thanksgiving, or with please or thank you in the title! I am sure there are many you can think of.
To get in touch before or during the show, do email brian@the-bell.net or send a tweet to brianhartgen.
