This is how close we got to see Chip Davis and Mannheim Steamroller. We sat on table 36 and I took advange of the complementary wine. Judi attacked the cheese and crakers, typical Cheese head.
The "Show" is on its way.
Judi broke the Gingerbread man's heart.
On November 30th Judi and I went to the Quarter Rose Auditorium in Portland to enjoy a Concert by Mannheim Steamroller. I became a fan of this group back in December of 1984. Bobby Beceril, a friend of mine, introduced me to a song from their first Christmas album.
I liked it so much that I did a diligent search and started to gather their Fresh Aire collection, first on tapes and now in cd's, all 8 of them. During the years I have also collected 5 of their Christmas albums, but I doubt I will collect all 7 of them since they are getting repetitive, Mannheim Steamroller meet the mouse, Yellowstone: The music of nature, Classical Gas, Saving the Wildlife, Romantic Melodies, and 2 of their Ambiance collection. Yes, I am a big fan.
In recent years Mannheim Steamroller became popular with their Christmas albums. Prior to the success of holidays music, only few people like me knew about them, not so good for bus sines. Now all they seem to focus is Christmas music. I am disappointed since I really enjoy the Fresh Aire style Chip Davis created. Now, I guess, I will never hear them play those song live. Anyways the concert was excellent.
