The calendar says winter starts next week. So before we get tired of it – by January – let’s get in the mood for cold crispy mornings and long dark snowy nights with songs by classic artists from Paul Simon and Tony Bennett to some Canadians who know more about winter than anyone else: Lightfoot, Bachman, Cockburn and Joni.

I’m Gene Stevens – join me for ‘The Winter Edition’ of Vintage Favourites, along with a spotlight on artists who announced their retirement from the road this year – a kind of ‘twilight of the gods’. That’s this Sunday at 2:00pm from Zoomer Radio.
