I am enjoying the music also and have saved them all to my hard drive. Of course, I especially like the Mannheim Steamroller........anything by Mannheim Steamroller. :-)

Good evening, everyone. GBUSA, you did a lovely job with the thread this weekend. I'm sorry it took me a while to get here. I hope you all had a good weekend. I've been so busy lately with getting ready for Christmas, as I'm sure you all have. I finally got a chance to decorate, but I still haven't gotten a chance to make this year's ornament wreath. I have a few days left, so I should be able to squeeze in it's assembly during the next few days.
