Dark retelling of an ancient tune and Carol.

What Child Is This?  12 17  23

The Manhattan Convention and Visitors Bureau requested a song for the kickoff for funding improvements at the Johnny Kaw Experience. My writing goal was to include “giant scythe" and "Damon Runyon” in the same song. A 24-foot tall statue of Johnny Kaw, the pioneer Kansas wheat farmer, stands in Manhattan City Park. The statue was constructed in 1966, 11 years after the Manhattan Centennial celebration that inspired George Filinger to write the story of Johnny Kaw.
