 Actually, Mannheim Steamroller has put out *2* Christmas albums, the first
 showing up in my database as "Christmas" (I don't have it on hand).

 They have also put out an album by the name of "Saving the Wildlife", a
 soundtrack to a PBS special by the same name about endangered species.

 Yep, one and the same. He is also (I seem to recall) part owner of American
 Gramaphone, the label that has put out all of the Mannheim Steamroller
 albums......speaking of C.W. McCall, has anyone _ever_ seen a CD of his?
 I would love to get anything by him on the digital medium.......

 I can't wait for the 16th of October.........
