    Just bought the new CD and boy am I loving it. I found you guys like everyone else with your YouTube 12 days video. I was obsessed with that song last year. When Halloween came (you know, cause Christmas comes earlier every year), I searched for the 12 days song and found out that you have an entire CD. I've been listening to it over and over. I'm so glad I can do the Christmas can can even if I can't can't dance, that's okay. I joined the fan club this morning and found out that you'll be in Raleigh, NC where I'll be for Christmas. I am soooooooo sad that I can't get tickets. I guess they are all sold out on Ticket Master. The only ones I could find were on e-bay for $250 each. Who can afford that during Christmas and a recession? I wish I could see you guys live. Thanks for what you do. I don't know who spiked the egg nog, but I'm so glad they did.

    I have to second the person about having a song from Glad!!! I saw them many times and still love their music. You guys knock my socks off, will be looking for the Christmas CD today, just saw the PBS special last night and can't wait to hear more. Thanks for keeping acapella music alive.

    Someone else in the world still listens to GLAD?? I think "In the First Light" is one of their all time best arrangements. Some co-workers suggested I check out your music - fun stuff!

    Love David Phelps. Mary Did You Know by one of the writers of the song (Mark Lowry) is an all time favorite but I'll always love the Michael English version the best.

    So, I totally agree with you guys about the fact that you have to play White Christmas by Bing Crosby, and only by Bing Crosby, and you have to play it more than once, too....dang it, I wish Pandora would think that way.

    Dan, hope you and Randy get a chance to check out the Macy's windows downtown...(oh it's so hard to write that and not the Marshall Field's window's).

    Love the list. :)

    I love your list...especially the final song. Your O Holy Night would have to replace the Phelps version though :)

    No, no, NO! It's gotta' be Holiday Spirits and Christmas Cheers! What else could you possibly need!?!

    Somewhere I saw something about a PBS special. I'm guessing I missed it but do you know how I can still see it? Is there a video or site it appears on?

    Gotta love Bing! Just want to say you guys are awesome! Brings back memories of my dad in Barbershop... some of the best times I had growing up were going to his shows and of course being the only kids to attend the afterglows lol. You are all really talented. Thank you for doing what you love! And keep the records coming!

    I think you have picked some wonderful Christmas songs that reflect the true meaning of Christmas. If you do another Christmas album, please add Mary, Did You Know. May you have as much joy as you have brought to us this wonderful season.
    Merry Christmas, Ya'll from South Carolina. You have just received a true southern greeting.

    Hmmm... Maybe I'll have to get these songs and burn my own copy of the SNC bus playlist! :)
