Good morning my Fellow Carolers. It's Day Seven and we're laid over at LAX (Los Angeles). We are spotlighting the classic Kenny Loggins song Celebrate Me Home which is celebrating it's 45-year anniversary. Our very own Nicholette Blount will give her own interpretation of this holiday classic. We want to dedicate this song to all of our troops and first responders who will not be able to make it home this Christmas.
Did you know that California native Loggins recorded this song as a solo project after he left his old band Loggins/ Messina? The title of the song was just used as a filler AKA a dummy title, but the record label loved it so much, they kept it.
