Threads and Tangents 12/5/23 - Chanukah

This week's musical thread is the Festival of Lights and that means Chanukah, or Chanukah-adjacent songs.  
When I was growing up we really didn’t have any good Chanukah songs.  Luckily, since that time lots of musicians have recorded solid, and sometimes funny, Chanukah music; music we’re happy to listen to year round.
    
We'll hear music from: Dan Bern, Stephen Colbert/Jon Stewart, Luther Dickinson/Jeremiah Lockwood/Ethan Miller, Emma’s Revolution, Béla Fleck & the Flecktones, Gefilte Joe & The Fish, Honky Tonk Confidential, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, the Klezmatics, Greg Kurstin & Dave Grohl, Tom Lehrer, The Frank London Big Band, The Minus 5, Loudon Wainwright III, Watkins Family Hour, and Yo La Tengo.
