Celebrate Christmas and the holiday season in Rockford.

Each Friday, “The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show” replaces its regular “back-with” music with songs from our own music collections. They can be anything, from corny mash-ups, rock, country and mid-Michigan '70s butt rock to anything in between. Here’s the list of Music Friday songs from today's show.
