LIGHTS OUT: Christmas Story (12-22-37) In this story written by series creator Wyllis Cooper, three World War One soldiers from different countries share a railway car and their lives intertwine with those of the Three Wise Men.

TEXACO STAR THEATRE Starring Fred Allen (12-20-42) with Guest Risë Stevens of the Metropolitan Opera Fred Allen was famous in his day for his annual Christmas show that featured an unhappy Santa Claus who was striking against Christmas due to unfair treatment over two centuries.

Here's part 2 of our fourth and final Sonic Summerstock Playhouse offering for 2020, a beautiful Norwegian folk tale interpreted by Louis MacNiece for BBC Radio and originally broadcast in 1959. There was no recording available for us to take inspiration from, so we did everything based on the script's dialogue and sound/music cues.

As a lifelong fan of the Marx Brothers, especially Groucho, I felt compelled during my "songwriting period" (1993-94, a time in my life where a lot of shit was hitting the fan, and all of these songs kept pushing their way out as a way to cope) to pen a tune about the man. This is it. The guitar is by my best friend at the time, Bart "Goat" Gauthreaux, who served with me in the Navy and never said...
