A balmy evening in Brattleboro

What an incredibly warm day this has been for Nov. 6th! I brought in more wood this afternoon and then this evening we went to a Hallowell sing at a Day of the Dead commemoration at Experienced Goods, which is Brattleboro Hospice's thrift shop and main money-maker. A shrine had been set up where you could leave a note or light a candle for a loved one, and at 6pm about 18 of us gathered to sing. We had a good audience.

Then we walked up to the Library to hear Tony Barrand and Keith Murphey sing old Vermont songs from the Atwood family collection from Dover, VT. That event was packed! It is always a delight to listen to Tony and Keith. The program they did tonight was made into a CD called On the Banks of the Coldbrook. Google that and you'll learn all about what we heard tonight.

This was just one of about six amazing things happening in Brattleboro tonight! The town was buzzing, and the unusually warm evening made it all the more magical. We are so lucky to live here!
