On the basis of these encounters, Muffley invited Ives to participate in a 1977 Christmas Concert at the DAR Constitution Hall : "The weeks that followed were busy indeed as a special production, the brainchild of Master Chief Jere Wallace, entitled ''For the Love of Christmas'', was scripted, focusing around a musical adaptation of Burl telling the story of Christmas to a group of children ... the personification of Santa Claus himself." The concert was broadcast on national television.The United States Navy Band: Discography: Christmas by the Bay: Liner Notes: link .
