Have you seen them before? Great show musically but a little hokey/Spinal Tap’ish on th stage production. Really good though. Enjoy!

Lucero is the best live band around, IMHO. If you ever get a chance to see them, drop what you're doing and go.

To change the angle a bit: I saw a live concert on the web last Thursday, December 6, absolutely FANTASTIC !!! From Toronto to a packed house.

It will be rebroadcast Christmas Eve. (After the live concert, they reran it for a while, days, so maybe it will happen again after the coming rerun.) (The encore number is 12Days of Christmas - with gestures !!! dont miss it if you need a good laugh.)

Salt+Light, a Canadian Catholic TV media, and this concert is celebrating their 10th anniversary.

http://saltandlighttv.org/christmasconcert/live/

The main entertainers are ThePriests !!! They are precious !!! ( www.thepriests.com ; twitter.com/thepriests ; search YouTube ; etc )

(FYI They are 3 practicing priests from Belfast, NorthernIreland, who have sung all their lives, as a trio beginning in school some 35 years ago. Sony discovered them when looking for ‘a priest to sing a Latin Mass’ but they did a CD of spiritual songs and it surprised all at its popularity, 2008. They since have done 2 more CDs, sung on the stage with the Pope, PanisAngelicus, at HydePark 2010, and before the royal family at different times. Worldwide acclaim and lots of platinums.)
