my favorite time of the year

Went to see Mannheim Steamroller last night. Good performance though Chip Davis was not there. We saw them a few years ago and as the leader, he made the show. They have a 25th edition album out of their best - worth having.

There is an accapella group who did a funny version of the 12 Days of Christmas about 10 years ago. Well some Hollywood guy saw it and they have just released their 2nd Christmas album. They are good whether serious or funny. They are called Straight No Chaser. They started at Indiana U., went their separate ways, and now have reunited. It is worth listening to.
