   I first heard the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing about 10 years ago, shortly after I discovered torrent files, actually.
   
   Do you know of anyone who sings Christmas songs better?

   The first name that popped into my mind was Bing Crosby.

      Nah you're having a laugh!
      
      I love Bing Crosby and White Christmas and a million other popular songs. But Away in a Manger or  Silent night, or some of the more traditional Christmas songs, who sings it better than a choir?
      
      It's a simple question. Who sings it better that the Mormon Tabernacle?
      
      I wish they had an easier name to type!

   But yes, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir has a wonderful sound.

      I can't listen to them for another 2 days (when my new month starts as my internet has been slowed because some hacking B has got into my account), but I look forward to it.
      
      I love choral music at Christmas, its better than any pop song.

         Grumpers!! I forgot about that problem.  So, can I send you a CD or DVD or choral Christmas music? - so you won't have to use up all of your internet minutes enjoying something that you could keep around all the time even without the internet?  Well, I guess two days is not too bad - it's not an eternity, anyway.

            What a lovely gesture!! But no, thanks very much all the same
            
            I can use other people's connections to download torrents, if I want the music to play over while offline.
            
            Not now, obviously , because I have to go out with laptop with me to grab a free wifi connection.
            And I don't leave the house much these days...
            
            But this will force me to go, if I want the songs badly enough.

               I understand that!  I went out to the mall this evening for the first time in practically forever.  It was sort of like visiting a foreign country, lol.
               
               I hope you will enjoy the music of the season - and very soon.
