Technical Notes: Dallas had 2 snowfalls in 6 days prior to this video being taken. I'm guessing this affected the communications cable throughout the yard, as some parts of the songs were 'sticking' after that. I wasn't going to track down and replace all cables before filming!

Fire and Mercy

The song is by William Orbit, and it's not a Christmas song. It's one of the few (if not the first) non-Christmas song I've ever put in the display. Been meaning to do this for years, but never got around to it.

Folks in Dallas / Fort Worth may know where this music is from. Others may not. You can download the full length version from Amazon.com
