Tran-siberian Orchestra (or TSO) ... What a group. Hard to explain what genre they fall into as they do wonderful Christmas music, classical with a 21st century sound and so much more.

Here's what Wikipedia has to say about them ...Trans-Siberian Orchestra (often abbreviated as TSO) is a rock orchestra founded in 1996 by Paul O'Neill, who immediately approached long time friends Jon Oliva, Robert Kinkel, and Al Pitrelli. The band's musical style incorporates progressive rock, symphonic metal, and heavy metal, with influences from classical music. Trans-Siberian Orchestra has recorded and performed renditions of traditional Christmas songs, and these have been among their most popular works. They are also known for their elaborate concerts, complete with a full light show and dozens of pyrotechnics that are synchronized with the actual performance.

If you have ever seen the Christmas lights on a house set to music (either on Google or another video site), then you have heard the music of TSO. Their Christmas music is fantastic and deserves a listen.

That's what I am listening to while recuperating ... how about you?
