Back when the Holiday Opera was just getting started, the daughter of one of the customers, a young Jewish girl, asked Bill why there are no Hanukkah carrols. Bill offered up "Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel" but the girl wasn't having it. Bill figured if a Jewish guy like Irving Berlin could right Christmas tunes why couldn't an Italian lasagna maker from Highwood right a Hanukkah tune.
Here is this year's holiday opera performers doing Bill's original Hanukkah song. Happy Hanukkah from your other family at the Del Rio.
