Description: Here's Part 2 of The Good Time Bunch Christmas Special with Mary Pat (Byrne) and Brian (Vandenbroucke) on WSNS Channel 44. Featuring the Madrigal Singers of Proviso East High School and the Joseph Holmes Dance Theatre. Includes:

Mary Pat and Brian hoping everyone enjoyed the presentation of "Gulliver's Travels," before segueing to the Madrigal Singers of Proviso East High School who perform what they called "I Wish You A Merry Christmas."

When that ends, Mary Pat and Brian begin to introduce the Joseph Holmes Dance Theatre, and go to Joseph Holmes himself who explains the troupe's history, and introduces one of his most famous routines, "Oh Mary, Don't You Weep," which takes up the rest of this part. (Mr. Holmes ran the troupe from its founding in 1974 until his death in 1986, and afterwards its direction passed on to Randy Duncan.)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Sunday, December 25th 1977 during the 1pm to 3pm timeframe.
