‘Chasing Steam’, A Documentary About an Annual Christmas Eve Steam Whistle Concert in York, Pennsylvania

Chasing Steam is a cable access documentary by cigar box guitar player Shane Speal that explores the York Steam Whistle Christmas Eve Concert, an annual event in York, Pennsylvania where a 100 year-old factory steam whistle plays Christmas carols for an hour and a half. The whistle, which can be heard up to 15 miles away, earned a spot in Guinness World Records. “Whistle Master” Donald E. Ryan has manned the instrument for more than 60 years. A live stream of the event can be viewed at its official site.
