It's hot here in the Northern Hemisphere, so we decide to cool off with music devoted to winter rather than any one holiday. Specifically, we listen to two takes on "Winter Wonderland", which we have gone 130 episodes without encountering! Both versions of this familiar song manage to catch us by surprise - the first recorded performance by Richard Himber and His Ritz-Carlton Hotel Orchestra, and a more recent rendition by Earth Wind & Fire.
