[Grams A]

Mannheim is one of our family favorites. When my youngest grandson was just three we took him snow skiing in Colorado for the first time. Went out to dinner with a huge group and their Christmas music was playing in the background. When he heard it he piped up in his very loud outside voice “Hey everybody, that’s the Steamrollers. I love them. Aren’t they great?” People were so amazed that he knew their name. Great parenting.

I work at Home Depot, and yeah, the overnight guys were setting up the Christmas stuff on September 28th. So for a little while we had a 6 foot tall Grim Reaper right next to Christmas decorations.

Our torturous Christmas music will start the day after Thanksgiving.

Forgot to say, the name Mannheim Steamroller is a reference to the classical term Mannheim Rocket, so that means they’ve at least had some classical training.
