Twas a night with the Peak
Thanks NEXT listener Ellen.
Twas the night before Christmas and all through that week
Not a creature was stirring, awaiting the Peak
All the radios were tuned to 107.1
In hopes that the acoustic show would be fun
We listeners were nestled all snug in our beds
While visions of Ten at Ten danced in our heads
When out of nowhere, I awoke from my dreaming
I sprang to my laptop and then started streaming
Away to the speakers I leaped in a bound
Reached for the volume and turned up the sound
When what to my wondering ears should I hear
But my Next favorite song: new, perfect and clear
With a lively, young DJ – host of the Next show
I knew in an instant, it must be Chris Bro
More rapid than eagles, the Peak DJs came
And I whistled and shouted and called them by name
Now Arrow! Now Herrmann! Batiste! Fink! And Bro!
Figler, Corley and Mayer-with-the-brother-we-know
To the top of the ratings, the top of the wall
Dash away other stations, dash away all
And then in a twinkling I heard Ten at Ten
And that Peak Performance Playback again
As I drew in my head, I knew that Sunday sound
Over Easy they called it, and that’s what I found
Their voices, they twinkled; their music was merry
We tuned in from Brewster and then from Danbury
They had a small place, but this fun little group
Played music as hot as a bowl full of soup
They were witty and wise; they had style and brains,
These talented elves, right there in White Plains
They spoke many words but no one was a jerk
Filled our ears with good music, and that was their work
Then Chris sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a cheer
And away they all flew for a Rack 'n' Roll beer
But they heard us exclaim as they drove out of sight
May your Peak Christmas be merry and bright
Happy Holidays and may good music find you
