Christmas Memories

[L Verge]

A friend sent me several links to Christmas music done a cappella (?sp) by a group that I had never heard of, Home Free. Absolutely beautiful pieces. They are definitely a little bit country, but their harmonizing and renditions of old hymns made me cry -- especially O Holy Night. Several of the men (only five of them) simulate instruments via their voices.

I will be politically correct and not insert religious fervor here on the forum, but try to find this group on Google. The settings that they chose as backdrops are spectacular also. They have a rendition of Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA set in front of Mount Rushmore that will knock your socks off.

BTW: If the Jingle Bells video that I sent was filmed at Union Station, you are looking at the resurrected grandeur of that building from what it was forty years ago. The NPS holdings of Lincoln assassination materials was stored in the attic of the dilapidated station while the roof was leaking. Thank the heavens they survived.
