I did - but I'm not sure about the spelling. He is playing the bass guitar.

4.) Christmas Overture
5.) Faith In Angels

Band Intros - Mark Holland on flute, Mark Torlina on bass guitar, Gary Hodges on cello, Melissa Streuli on violin, Maggie Estes on fiddle, R. Scott Bryan on percussion

6.) Little Drummer Boy (featuring R. Scott Bryan on percussion)
7.) Ring Out The Bells

Yes, thanks to RM and Sirius, and thanks Fragile Magic and silverbetty for the keeping the setlist!

Did anyone record this? Due to being at work, I wasn't able to listen and I'd really like to hear it. Thank you!!!!!!

Mark's last name is spelled "Torlina"

Thanks a lot, I'll update his name in my post above.

Peter Mayer brought Stars and Promises to Taunton, MA last night. What an absolute blessing! As wonderful as the show was last year, it's even BETTER this year. Peter's worked out some fantastic new arrangements; the intro to Sing Joy was like nothing I've ever heard him play..... The two encore numbers, Faith in Angels and Go Tell It On The Mountain, were performed unplugged.... Jaw-dropping.... I wished I could have suspended time, to make the whole experience last longer.

If you can catch any of the last few shows this week, do it. THIS is what Christmas is, for me!

Last night was great, I agree with SGH! What a time finding the church, then finding my way home afterwards.........not the easiest place for a non-local to find when most of the locals themselves, even the cops, don't know where the church is!

SGH just called me during JOY, JOY, JOY!

I *love* Peter Mayer's Christmas music!

I truly can't wait.....I am so jazzed....I was just listening to Faith in Angels and thinking I'll be hearing it live in a couple of days!!

wSGHs, for sure!!!!

And I would add that Little Drummer Boy, featuring an amazing percussion intro & lots of percussion solos throughout, was incredible. I still have Sing Joy, Faith in Angels and Ring out the Bells running through my head!

OK, I'm sold!

Just bought the two Christmas CD's and the DVD of one of the concerts. Can't wait to get them.

The replay is on RM right now, for another 40 minutes or so.
