They put on quite a show. At one point in the concert there were these huge gray drapes upon which were projected images of horses and carriages going through the snow. Really magical.<BR/><BR/>The YouTube version pf "Silent Night" I chose doesn't haven't the same visuals as those I saw. There is a version with the same visuals, but they're too distracting - weren't at all distracting at the concert - there was an elaborate small village set up on the ground floor with a track and train that circled it -- also, the violin cannot be heard quite as distinctly and poignantly on the accurate visual version. It's not quite right on this version, either, but it's close. I'll never forget the sound of the violin that evening - just took my breath away, it was so beautiful!<BR/><BR/>Couldn't get the HTML setup to work at all as you suggested - went back to my old Compose mode, and just kept deleting everything that was highlighted when it said why it couldn't publish until it finally DID publish! :)<BR/><BR/>Still have that kind of annoying "> at the bottom of each that I don't think should be there, but at least they published!Goldenrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246352554498015300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281519437069491769.post-34984741935909637252008-12-07T10:06:00.000-06:002008-12-07T10:06:00.000-06:00Mannheim Steamroller...one of our family favorites...Mannheim Steamroller...one of our family favorites too!
