JustADude: post a photo link to that lights display! No bragging rights without proof!

Merry Christmas

P.S. I just took a drive over towards the Golf Courses. Seems white lights are still the norm and the L.E.D. revolution has yet to catch on!

P.P.S. An incredible full moon just came up over the Ocean. Putting all our lights to shame!

Curt I don’t know how familiar you are with that group, but go here and then click each sample in windows media so you can sample the CD…you will probably be hunting for it in after Xmas sales.

Well the family here is getting ready to sit down for supper.

Can’t wait to see what the chef has cooked up this year.

He declared the kitchen off limits two days ago and he always comes up with a master piece of a holiday feast.

Right now we are lighting the front yard enjoying a bit of pfferneuse the chef just popped out with.

4 acres of front yard with lots of lights (40,000 plus) and multiple displays both static and dynamic. Some computer driven with music themes.

Takes a staff of 6 about 4 days after Turkey day to set it all up every year and also I have to reserve in advance a portable 25k generator semi-trailer to power it all.

I have been told you can see it from the space station.

I’ll meet you over there Mike, some Champagne sounds good!

Gonna have to try that recording on the surround sound on concert hall delay. Never done that before.

I’m all for heading over to JustADude’s house for the Champagne, but the stuffed turkey is in the oven already!

AM 1290 Savannah, Georgia is streaming the Mannheim Steamroller American Christmas program:

It’s a beautiful night here, just like in the photo. I’ve just turned on the outside lights, got at least 1,000 watts outside and another 1,000 watts blazing inside. I’m doing my best for Global Warming!

Right now I am streaming Christmas music off a college radio station for background that tends toward older classic Christmas music mostly big band style and older groups.

Right now Gene Autry is doing Here comes Santa Claus

Curt

You would have to hear that thing played over my home theater system.

Champagne for all and crank up the volume and add a touch of delay to the speakers by putting it on concert hall profile.

It will literally make your spine tingle and you hair on your arms stand up.

I’ve never heard that version and just listened to it for the first time.

Wow!

Here is a light show to it on YouTube. Excellent.
