Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town is arranged as played by piano artist,
Jo Ann Castle.  This arrangement has all of the piano fireworks that she was noted for.  A very energetic and fun arrangement in Jo Ann's fiery style.

Jo Ann Castle is an American honky-tonk pianist, best remembered for appearing on The Lawrence Welk Show.  She adopted her stage name from the name of an accordion manufacturer, another instrument she played proficiently. She was often referred to as Queen of the Honky-Tonk Piano by Lawrence Welk himself.

Originally introduced to Welk by Joe Feeney in 1959, Castle became a permanent member of the Welk Family, replacing the departing Big Tiny Little.  In the 1990s, Castle performed at the Welk-owned Champagne Theater in Branson, Missouri, as well as making a guest appearance for a show with Jimmy Sturr and His Orchestra on RFD TV.

If you are looking for a swinging addition to your holiday concert repertoire, George West's arrangement on Santa Claus is Comin' to Town is the chart you've been looking for!

This chart is one of my favorites, and it will have your audience tapping their toes!
