WJK Podcast 9: “Greensleeves”
 
With the holiday season now in full swing, Why Johnny Kills presents a special series of podcasts this week to celebrate Kwanzaakahmas.  First up is a version of “Greensleeves,” supposedly written by King Henry VIII for one of his 8 wives (#2 - Anne Boleyn) during their courtship.  The melody was later reused in 1865 by the Englishman Wm Chatterton Dix for his most famous Christmas carol, “What Child is This?”
