Neil Gaiman sings (sort of) 'The Problem with Saints'

The show with Neil Gaiman and Josh Ritter was sold out Friday night. Luckily, Minnesota Public Radio has kindly shared videos of the live stage show "Wits," recorded at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minn. The show often combines musical and literary guests. This number showcases circus-y horns and excellent backup singers in addition to the vocal stylings of bestselling author Neil Gaiman, whose many successes include "Anansi Boys," "The Graveyard Book," "Coraline" and "The Sandman" comic book series.
