‘Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the state House, not a creature was stirring … Except for state Reps. Andrew Lewis, R-Dauphin, and David Rowe, R-Union, who dragged a couple of pianos into the Capitol rotunda to play a duet of “O Holy Night,” in the shadow of the Capitol Christmas Tree.

The pianos, in case you’re wondering, are kept in the Main and East rotundas for the visiting musical performances that are a fixture of the holiday season.
