Still in mid-move, or more likely at this point at the stage of getting things properly set up. ?Still a chance of popping in later tonight with a live update, but until then -- or in lieu of it -- here are a couple of holiday pieces from my faves Kukla, Fran and Ollie. Or as I prefer to more appropriately refer to them during the season as Kukla, Fran and Holly. This first is Fran Allison singing an original song, "Christmas is a Time," written for their show. It's a sweet song, done lovingly, though the song is not especially memorable. But of all the Kukla, Fran and Ollie Christmas songs available, it's the only one with video. This, on the other hand, is a joyful medley of Christmas songs, sung by all the Kuklapolitans. It's only audio, released as part of a Christmas album, but it's a pleasure to hear all their enthusiasm. Mainly, though, I include it because it ends with their rousing "Deck the Halls" (with boughs of holly, hang the mistletoe for Ollie) -- made all the better for being accompanied by my fave Kuklapolitan, the unintelligble Cecil Bill and his "toi ta toi toi's." (For the record, the "Dolores" referred to, who sings "Silent Night" is Ollie's little niece.)
