IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

In 2001, I asked PAUL COKER to do several designs for a RANKIN/BASS Production that I laid the ground work on, called IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR. Andy Williams called me up and said he was in! He loved the concept and designs. Every time I hear one of Andy's songs on SIRIUS XM HOLIDAY TRADITIONS, I think about this project. Donny Osmond and his brothers liked the idea too.
