Thank you, Mary Ann. I did listen a few times in the last week or so, and really enjoyed it!
I can't miss Handel's Messiah; I was able to attend several years when performed by a huge choir in Cincinnati when I lived near there. I believe it's my favorite. ;)
Thanks again.
Interesting fund raising idea for MPR.
