Born in Melbourne in 1969, Lisa discovered her
passion for music at an early age. Encouraged by
her musical family, she began piano lessons at the
age of six. At the age of eight she gave her first
solo performance to an audience of 400 people –
for an eight year old, this was a very important
experience. From here on Lisa knew that her life
would be music!

Featured Blog:
Swan
Fungus
http://www.swanfungus.com/
This blog has become something of an
electronic watering hole where folks from around
the world gather to hear the rantings of a bored
and depraved individual. You could even say that
this is his own personal Beer Hall Putsch. The
esteemed online music retailer eMusic once
referred to Swan Fungus as “the most self-centered
blog on the Internet.â€ð

Q) Tell us a little bit about your
show. What initially inspired you to start
it?
A) WSF Radio was initially
started to showcase talented indie artists.
I began to see the passion and how talente artists
were not being heard. We changed the format from
all sports to all
music.
Q) What
characteristics make a great holiday
song?
A) I feel the characteristics
of a great holiday song is the spirit of the
holiday. All holiday song are awesome
especially when you singing together as a
group. But it is the spirit and joy of the
season that really makes the song
special.
Q) What are some
of your favorite holiday
songs/renditions?
A) Indie artist Tracy Cruz
Have one of the best renditions of "Have Yourself
A Merry Little Christmas" I have ever heard. You
want to hear some serious vocals take a listen to
Tracy Cruz's Holiday CD from last year.
Incredible!
Q) When is it
appropriate to start playing holiday music? My
mother seems to think November 1st is the
“officialâ€ð start date; any take on this debate?
She also claims that January 1st is the end
date.
A) I remember as a child
growing up the week of Thanksgiving was our
official holiday marker. Now that I am older its
seems some start playing holiday music as early as
late Oct. Jan. 1 was the official end of the
holiday, and all the decorations came
down.
Q) Any quirky
holiday memories that you care to share?
A) Quirky memories LOL! I
remember our family always practiced the Secret
Santa for Christmas. At Thanksgiving everyone
pulled a name from the hat, and you would be that
person's Santa at Christmas you will give them
their gift. It worked well until one year some
particular family members thought it would be
funny to give zonk gifts. That was the end of our
Secret Santa days, now I think back on it, it was
funny lol someone gave me a pair of lady hosiery
as a gift!
