Greg, Here is an original Christmas song w/ video written about Molly's Bar in Superior, WI. In related news, Superior, WI was built by General John Henry Hammond, the grandfather of Columbia Record Talent Scout John Hammond. There is an avenue named after him in town. Here is my Christmas at Molly's. BTW, I used to love Crawdaddy! https://youtu.be/IARsiU3_PR8?si=D3mWmynvDCQL6jwO
