James for someone that does this much decorating, I find it hard to believe you don't have music sat up to peoples radio stations as they drive by. That seems to be the big thing now a days.

 

[jamesngalveston]

You know..I did some huge christmas things with leds, comptuer , etc up in houston, but it just cost so much...
You got to have all kinds of software,hardware,modules,sound control board, etc.

For anyone who remembers Carson Williams, the guy who made the lights to music really popular a few years ago with his "TSO Wizards of Winter". here's the link to the company who sells the controllers and lights to do it yourself.
Some really cool videos posted on these other sites as well.

racked the Catawba out of buckets and into the demijohn with enough left over to fill another 1 gallon glass jug. Did some bench testing on the Candy Cane wine. Taking Runningwolf's recommendation, I did a 1:1 Candy Cane and Thompson Seedless blend and backsweetened to 1.020. The official taste tester gave a big thumbs up and we will blend and bottle for Christmas.

Sounds like you have your work cut out for you. 50k lights?? YIKES! I thought I over-did it but darlin, you get the Clark Griswold award for sure. You HAVE to post some pics when your done.

This is my last years project. I did 2 full size (5-6 ft) dolphins made out of tomato cages, chicken wire and mesh fabric. They were timed to music and synchronized lights on my trees. It was an inexpensive box that controls 8 devices and music is pre-programmed. I can't tell you how many times either the breaker blew or the fuse in the music/light box. I really need to switch to LEDs but that's a lot of

On the left is the skeleton in the works and the right is in the yard. They were suspended by wires in the trees to make them look like they were jumping.

 

[vacuumpumpman]

Very cool Lori !!

 

[jamesngalveston]

Yea I agree, I also need to switch to leds....You can use fewer lights becuase there brighter...and you have lots of computerized options and controllers.
Im looking at some sites now....there is one iplace n chicago that has the best. but I am having trouble finding it.
