The Greater Boston Area is brimming with the holiday spirit, and so are we! Deanna categorizes and highlights the best of this year’s offerings. Look no further for recommendations of local Singalongs, Concerts, Movies and Plays. Ken Field gives us a music break from all that information with his original piece, “Canned Chicken”. We wrap up the show by highlighting Fuse contributor Susan Miron’s recent review. Miron covers two albums, Jordi Savall’s reworking of Messiah by Handel and A Spanish Nativity by Stile Antico.
