43. Dan Hicks' Carol of the Bells - Yodeling and scat singing, Baby!

Mon Dec 2, 2024, 03:40 PM

Dec 2

The late great Dan Hicks was crazy about Christmas and formed a star studded Christmas Jug Band. It still gets together, sans Hicks, and does a coupe of wonderful gigs in December. If they come to your town, don’t miss it.
