A "This One is Just for You" special report

Since this is a dedication blog, I feel it is my duty as Dedication Master (and yes, that's how I refer to myself these days) to keep you abreast of all things fantastic regarding dedications.

So it's the holidays which is a great time to reveal my adoration for Christmas music. I'm a big sucker for cheese aka Sentimental Fromage and its combination with holiday festiviness is something I cannot resist. I don't fight it. I don't make excuses. I blame my father.

Anywhosall, as soon as Thanksgiving is over my first order of business is to find The Christmas Station. Because in every city, there is always a Christmas Station. And it should come as no surprise that it's usually the lite FM station that takes up the cause.

You might see where I'm going with this but just in case you don't... Lite FM means something other than Kenny G and Celine Dion... it means Dedications.

I had forgotten all about this. I MAY have blocked it out, actually, but now that I've rediscovered it, I am totally and completely hooked. Thank you, spirits of Christmas Fromage, for delivering the motherload- Christmas song dedications on Lite FM.

I was listening the other night on my way home from the Grove on Friday night (something else I've since blocked out- what a nightmare) and I got the usual dedication treats. That smooth lady DJ's voice crooning, "Bobby would like to wish Karen a very merry christmas. He sent us this message earlier- You are the love of my life. I cannot believe I get to spend another Christmas with you. You are so precious to me." And the song was some atrocious instrumental version of Jingle Bell Rock on a xylophone. That the DJ declared one of her all time favorites. I mean, I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.

So here's my little Holiday Time gift to you, dear readers. Two of my all time favorite Dedication Masters... Delilah (whose hair is a subject unto itself) and Boston's David Allan Bouche which might just be the best Lite FM DJ name in history.
