Thanks, Mary Ann! 

Think I'll try it tomorrow while I'm getting in the mood to put up some decorations around the house.

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.
