Piece Description

In this warm and charming tale of a well meaning but misguided attempt to spread the holiday spirit the three wise men of Swanktown, Good Time Charley, Dancing Dan and, of course, Sly Crooner (your lounge companion) demonstrate the healing power of giving. This is Christmas as you've never heard it before featuring such classic holiday songs as Silent Night (in a reggae version), Amazing Grace, O Christmas Tree and others all given a delicious swank treatment. This is part two of the Damon Runyon story Dancing Dan's Christmas and is also available as a single one hour piece called The Sly Crooner One Hour Christmas Special. Happy Holidays from Sly!
