The original version 20 years ago was played on more than 50 radio stations coast-to-coast, and the duo has performed the story about a farmer who must deliver the Christmas gifts for Santas live on stage in Wisconsin and Minnesota. The story's gentle humor and strong midwestern values have inspired several elementary schools in Minnesota, Iowa and Annapolis, Maryland to base their Christmas pageants on it.

This year, Uncle Hyggly's daughters Ruairi and Bailey sing selections on the CD (It's 10-year-old Bailey singing "Jolly Old Gonopolis" in the samnple above) as well as providing character voices. Uncle Hyggly wrote the melody and lyrics for "May All Your Christmases Be Black & White" at the end of the story.

When Uncle Hyggly first heard George's "The Gonopolis Rag" 20 years ago it instantly became the character's theme song. George has performed the song at many concerts and its even shown up in his solo piano CDs.

Whether listened to as a stand-alone, or while flipping the pages of Uncle Hyggly's book, you're sure to enjoy the enthusiasm and energy the dynamic duo use in bringing all the characters to life!
