Mon Dec 16, 2019: It's an annual tradition at DU: Liberace's Musical Tribute to the Holidays

Seen here on Friday, May 13, 2016, somewhat out of season: SCTV. I miss that show.

I know I posted this {in 2018} in the DU Lounge, but I haven't found that link yet.

On the bright side, for the "you have to say 'Merry Christmas,' or else" crowd, at least they're bringing Christmas back into the schools.

Dusty's first special, and first TV show. She gets things rolling with a song and a story. Marcie performs a suggestive dance. Dusty does her own special medley of Christmas hits (Ricky keeps jumping on the punch line). Dusty and Divine have quite a rapport. Divine's brought a Christmas tape: "Santa Bring My Baby Back to Me" on ice (complete with pink flamingoes). Dusty recites "The Night Before Christmas".

Dusty Towne - O'Hara; Marcie Odette - Martin; Divine - Candy; Juul Haalmeyer Dancers - Juul Haalmeyer, Bob Dolman, Doug Steckler, Mert Rich, Ivan Lynch, extras; Wally Hung Trio: Drums (Ricky) - Moranis; Wally Hung on Korg Organ - Paul Flaherty; Bass - Dick Blasucci; announcer - staff announcer
