Happy New Year!! Wow what a year 2010 was and we are very excited about 2011!! Great concerts from Chris Botti, Earl Klugh, BB King and more to follow I’m sure. I am so blessed to have you all in my life, and can’t think of a better way to bring such great music to you every week than through the Smooth Sunday Brunch. I hope you’ll join me every Sunday as we try and bring the very best to you so that you can relax, reflect and inspire yourself for the coming week, month and year ~Taylor

SMOOTH SUNDAY BRUNCH SET LIST 12/26/2010

Well friends it was another wonderful Christmas at my house, my son reveled in the glitter and electric light as he descended upon the bows, the paper and string and ultimately defeated the foe that was and is Christmas gifts. It was a sight to behold, and as I write this it comes to me that as a child, I too loved the ripping, tearing and sheer delight of looking at the baubles and bits clothing that my grandmothers had given me, tossed aside for the more important things, like in 1972, when I got an Orange Miami Dolphins sweatshirt that I wore everyday and was sad because my mother finally peeled it off of my to wash , or the year my Dad came home from sea and no one knew but Mom and surprised us on Christmas Morning. Memories to be cherished for many years to come, I hope your family had and will continue to have wonderful Christmas Memories. Let’s look ahead to 2011 and pray and hope that we continue to love, continue to help and continue to nourish those that cannot. ~Taylor

Holiday Greetings and Merry Christmas to all of you, this is our last weekend for Smooth Holiday Music, 12/26 we’ll go back to our regular format for Smooth Sunday Brunch. I hope that you enjoyed it this year, as I certainly enjoyed playing it for you. Some things to think about this holiday season are our troops overseas who can’t be home with their families this year. If you are so inclined, please visit

www.letssaythanks.com and send a Christmas Card to a soldier. It just takes a minute or two, it’s absolutely free and it will warm your heart and bring a touch of home to them.  You can always reach me via Twitter @981KUDL or at our FaceBook Fan page, (the links above) and via email taylor@kudl.com

Tanna talks with Oscar winner Timothy Hutton about his band of Robin Hoods on “Leverage”, his hit series on TNT.

Singer/songwriter John Ondrasik has put out another free Christmas album for the troops. Tanna talked to him about raising kids, tweeting and singing in the shower. (It’s a little headier then “rub a dub, three men in a tub”!)

Tanna talked to the mohawk-wearing hottie in Glee about being the bad boy on the show and the sweet parting gift he got from Gweneth Paltrow.

Clerks at the mall kiosks often sound like carnival barkers trying to sell you stuff. I walked past a jewelry kiosk at Oak Park mall and the clerk actually slid on his knees, like a rock star, to open the case that I had casually glanced at. “Lady, how much money to you have, because I can make you a deal”.  Does it bother you walking the kiosk gauntlet while you shop?

Lee Judge is the political cartoonist for the Kansas City Star but not everything he inks is fit to print. Well… it is, just not in the newspaper. That’s why you need to pick up a copy of his book, “The Stuff They Wouldn’t Print: A Collection of Rejected Political Cartoons.” Tanna talked to Lee about the cartoons that got him into trouble and his 12/9 book signing at the Plaza library.

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks & slow walking shoppers. Is it o.k. to brush by shouting, “on your left” or should you stop and smell the roasted chestnuts? In London, the police may start patrolling  pedestrian traffic, forcing slower shoppers to stay to the right.  Would that work on the Plaza?
