I just wanted to brag about the Rockapella Christmas concert I just saw. They were awesome, as usual. You may remember them as the band from the television show, "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego", if you don't already know of their fantastic musical talent.

If you don't have their Christmas CDs, I would recommend them highly. Very fine, non-sappy Christmas music is difficult to find, but both their Christmas CDs are great.

I love Rockapella, and I miss Where in the World is Carmen San Diego. That was a good show

A on the issue of good non-sappy Christmas CDs, may I recommend A Charlie Brown Christmas by Vince Guaraldi(sp?).

I am totally addicted to Rockapella. That and Disney (and increasingly more and more, Ben Folds) are probably my most frequently played playlists on iTunes. I am SO jealous that you got to see them in concert!

I love Rockapella... Up in MA a few years ago they sang at the 'Taste of Hadley'. It was awesome... : )

Seconded on both counts.

[brag] I got to meet them, and I may even still have that autographed picture somewhere. [/brag]

I think they have totally different members now than they did when Carmen Sandiego was on.

Even when I met them (late 1991) they had already replaced one (original) member.

Pretty Scott Leonard is a founding member, neh?

And Jeff Thacher joined the group while they were still on Carmen Sandiego.

Every time they add a new member, it takes me a little while to get used to the new sound, but I have yet to be disappointed by one of their shows. I got to meet them a few years back, but I didn't get any autographed photos

I had a tape of them on cassette. Remember cassettes? It died.

Yeah Rockapella is kind of like the Battlefield Band-- members come and go, but the music stays great.
