As the end of the year approached I have been thinking a lot about doing another U-Turn Cafe. Then today I got an e-mail from my good friend Jason Jarrett telling me that he had recorded one that he needed to get out of his system and that it was headed my way. The moment I saw the name of the file he sent me I knew I had to stop what I was doing and listen.

Listen to U-Turn Cafe #20
Bring the Soldiers Home

Featured on this episode:

• Carbon Leaf - The War Was in Color
• Rebecca Loebe - Jason
• Steven P. Richards - This is War
• Howard Jones - Building Our Own Future
• David McMillin - Shotgun Son

I hope you don’t mind this cross posting of shows as I really wanted everyone to hear this episode as I strongly believe in the message that Jason was trying to get across and his personal stories of his Dad really hit for me.

Thank you Jason for this. It meant the world to me for you to share.

I had the urge to do a show today and then realized that this would most likely be the final show before Christmas. Crazy how fast time flies when you are having fun and I sure am having plenty of that!

Merry Christmas

Featured on this episode:

• Blake Morgan - Why Don’t You See
• Laura Clapp - Please Forgive Me
• Matthew Ebel - Walk a Thousand Miles
• Allison Crowe - The First Noel

I also welcomed a new sponsor on board. Myxer provides ring tones for you and an EASY way for artists to start selling ring tones. I’ve been using them for a while and even set up AccidentHashRingtone.com using my other sponsor GoDaddy.

We’ve got over a foot of snow on the ground and winer is in full effect so that means it is the perfect time to play some great music. I figure if you are shoveling, shopping or stuck in the middle of a commute somewhere you need content like this to get you through it. Enjoy!

Thanks again to Jason Jarrett for being all over the episode. Both in reminding me of Geoff’s birthday and for recommending great music. His wife does an awesome podcast called Joyrise that I forgot to mention on the show, but that I highly recommend.
