NaSHOF’s Board and Hall of Fame members gathered this week at Ray Stevens’ CabaRay to meet, greet and reconnect with each other. (Thank you to our sponsor – Richard Courtney– and also to for a fantastic lunch!)

This is always a special gathering during a special time of year, and because many of our members (including some of those present) have written Christmas/Holiday tunes that make the season bright(er) for us all, we’ve compiled a playlist of their songs to help you celebrate. You can listen here:

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season filled with peace, love and joy!
