How "Crazy History" got its name
In 2018 Daniel J. Watts,
original "Hamilton" cast member,
seven-time Broadway performer,
currently starring
as Ike Turner in TINA, the Musical
treated us to three original raps.
It was his first trip to Staten Island.
When Watts found out that Aaron Burr
died across the street he was amazed,
"THAT'S CRAZY!!"
Yes Daniel, it's crazy
-- that so much of Dutch
Staten Island history, is untold!!!
