20 Dec 08 - 12:08 PM (#2520673) Subject: Straight No Chaser - Men's A Capella From: Alice I just saw a CNN report and interview of the guys who were in college and had an a capella group called Straight No Chaser. They had done a medley of the 12 days of Christmas and other carols, very entertaining, and the old performance was on You Tube. People discovered that video and now, after being in jobs spread all around the world, they were brought back together and offered a major recording contract as a result of that performance on you tube. Here they are: Straight No Chaser - 12 days There are more videos of them on you tube and a link to get their cd, called Holiday Spirits. ENJOY!!! Alice |
