    Ref. last song:
    So you said you were a very good girl, then not that good, then you weren't that naughty... so I sent you one that was sweet and innocent... nothing...? You didn't like that one? That little seven year old girl broke me... hmmm...
    You know what? There aren't enough songs about the good girl next door... I've searched... I just can't find proper appreciation for women of proper virtue. That is just not right. Somebody better write some new songs. I know of a few but they are so mushy... personal... I do not wish to appear... propriety you know... :)

    Their albums are on ITunes and Amazon. You might have to go to their website for the Christmas one,(not sure). You can listen to samples at either Amazon or ITunes Check out their “Illumination” album. Sunrise, Yonder Lea, Till All the Seas Gang Dry...just few of my favorites from that album.

    Your welcome. There an all girl band out of the UK that specializing in taking mediaeval text and poetry and putting it to music using instruments from that era. They sing in English, Gaelic, German, Swedish, French, Latin and Spanish A couple of their albums went to number one on the classical charts in the UK.Their music was used in the movie "The Virgin Queen” about Queen Elizabeth the first.
    I was at a Renaissance Festival a few years back, walking around, and I heard music that I just had to follow to the source. They were performing at one of those open glades.They were absolutely beautiful in sight and sound. They have a Christmas album out this year, but I haven’t had a chance to listen to it, but when I do I’m sure I’ll find a new favorite for this thread.

    Excellent choices. My wife and I got tickets to see Trans Siberian Orchestra a few years ago. I got the flu and had a temperature of 101 the night of the concert. I went anyway. I had been wanting to see them for a long time. It was a great show.

    My favorites:

    "A Christmas Carol", Tom Lehrer
    "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer", Elmo and Patsy
    "Chipmunks Roasting on an Open Fire", Bob Rivers
    "The Night Santa Went Crazy", Weird Al Yankovic

    I'll leave it to others to decide what this list says about me. :)

    OK, I really tried to come up with one. I love Christmas and one of the biggest things I love about it is the Music. So at the risk of being flammed to death I want to list two groups.

    I really dig anything by "Mannheim Steamroller", Chip is incredible. Secondly, I am missing the local concert by "Trans Siberian Orchestra" this year and I don't know if I'll be jolly without it.

    This is very good. I also like Carol of the Bells. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir's version is excellent.
