2 things make me happy during the holiday season. One is a Starbucks Gingerbread Latte.
The other is below. Straight, no Chaser, Indiana University’s men’s A Capella troupe. Enjoy. :)

Thank you. First time I’ve sat and listened to anything holiday related, nice. |
|
|
Great way to start a COLD day here in the Boston – it warmed my heart :) |
|
|
Saw a segment on ABC News last night on this group and it stopped me cold. Just had to watch! Thanks, Peter! |
|
|
Wow! Picture this: the whole office standing around the computer screen in awe. What a great way to start a morning! |
|
|
Oops! I guess that CD idea wasn’t exactly new! (I *knew* it was a good idea! LOL) |
|
|
IU has a large Jewish student population, many of my BBYOers in St. Louis went to IU. It was great hearing the crowd roar during the Dreidel Stop! Thanks for sharing! |
|
|
Saw this for the first time 2 years ago and I absolutely loved it…also one of my favorite holiday treats! Thanks for reminding me it was out there, Peter. |
|
|
That was FANTASTIC! Loads of talent…wow! I’m showing this to our son who was just accepted to IU, and is waiting word on a full ride scholarship he applied for :-) Thanks for sharing! |
|
|
Love it! Listened to it twice … then started sending your link around. We all need more of this. And by “this” I mean things that make us happy. |
|
|
Oh, wow, they’re great! Thanks to you and our friend, YouTube, I wasted about an hour last night watching EVERY SINGLE ONE of this group’s videos! Thanks, Peter. Seriously, thanks. I gave you a shout-out on my blog post about this fun group. You can see it here: http://givinguponpictureperfec.....e-off.html |

I love when I click on a link and then like magic a smile appears on my face! this is the second video this week thus far that has done that! 2 for 2! |
|
|
Wow, I’d never heard these guys, what a great little gift Peter thank you so much. This I’ve got to share with my peeps. You make me look good! |

As an IU Alum and long-time fan of Straight No Chaser, I’m so excited for the world to have a chance to experience them too! Real guys making really good music– what more could you ask for this holiday season? If you haven’t already, make sure you buy their new holiday CD (on i-Tunes and elsewhere)… http://www.upped.com/content/S.....NCredirect. It includes a few bonus tracks, and the always-popular “12 Days of Christmas” live performance! |
|
|
Wow, they are fantastic! This lit up a dreary New Jersey day and reminded me of all the great A Capella groups from college days at UVa! Thank you! |
|
|
Thanks for spreading the holiday spirit… enjoyed it tremendously and it definitely made my day! Have a festive and safe holiday season! Ros |

This is WONDERFUL! Thanks so much for including it in this morning’s HARO. |

What makes this so fabulous isn’t just the obvious talent of these gentleman but the personality and style in which they deliver their musical expertise. |

That was really awesome. My cousin graduated from IU and I don’t think she ever mentioned these guys. I would love to see them in concert. Thanks for sharing! |
