“Mannheim Steamroller”
I tend to remember Rush when they are played. He introduced this nation to many things.
Many years ago, I heard Rush talking about the Mannheim Steamroller version of Silent Night, played on a very sweet-sounding violin, and the emotions it evoked in him. Ever since, I’ve remembered this, and I think of my long-deceased mother, whose birthday was Christmas Day. These memories always bring tears to my eyes.
This year, there’s the added sadness of having lost Rush. I’m a better person for having both of them in my life, each in their own way.
Sniff….
