the edge of the stage. The
man spoke to Tony about
things of his past that no
one else would know,
and then said he would
be coming back.
Tony went on to play
another song, and his
band kept performing
without stopping, even
upon his command.
Then in a surprising
twist “Santa Claus”
was on stage, followed
by his helpers. The
story became one of
Tony believing who
that man dressed in
red really was. Tony
begged the man for a
sign that he was indeed who he claimed
to be, and in that
instant the Christmas tree came alive with a beautiful
young woman with an angelic voice who was part of the tree singing “Have you a Merry Little
Christmas.” Tony was scolded for not having a Nativity scene, and was given one by “Santa” as a gift.
Some of the show focused on having
that Nativity, and the meaning of it.
Tony was told that he needed to bring
his music up to today’s standards to
still be viable, and was seen doing an
amped up version of “Tie a Yellow Ribbon”, with Santa rapping parts of it.
Throughout the course of the night
the show had comedic elements to
it as well. Large costumed “Bobble
headed characters came out to sing
and dance, such as Gangnam Style,
Elvis & Little Richard. Also were Doo
Wop artists like The Everly Brothers,
Bill Haley & The Comets, and Buddy
Holly.
