A few years ago Aline and I attended a Christmas concert put on by some local Ottawa singer songwriters in support of the Ottawa Food Bank where each had to create and perform a new Christmas song they had written at the NAC’s Fourth Stage. We loved it and bought the CD.
Flash forward to the present and the concert has become a yearly tradition. So we went back, bought the new CD and really enjoyed Lynne Hanson’s mean Texas Santa with a gun song. (Sadly, it didn’t make the CD.)
Making monsters is Dr. Nutt’s specialty. Her best creations are the Yummy Mummy, the Boogie-Woogie Man, and her masterpiece, Dracula-la-la! who loves to sing Opera music. It’s music to Dr. Nutt’s ears, but the villagers don’t like the idea of singing vampires roaming around their town. When they storm her laboratory they are in for a pleasant surprise.
