Watching the Red Sox

One thing we can do here with Savanna we can't do at home is watch Red Sox games. Tonight they are playing the NY Yankees and they are down 4-1 in the bottom of the 4th. The Yankees got a 3-run home run in the 1st inning. But I think the Red Sox won last night after a 3-game losing streak against Tampa Bay. So maybe they can pull out a win tonight.

Sox at bat********************************************************** Tomorrow we are going to sing with Mary Cay Brass and a group from River Singers at a Memorial Service for Paula Green at the Montague, MA Retreat Center, which is actually much closer to us here in Shutesbury - about 20 minute drive at most. It would be over an hour if we were coming from home. I didn't know Paula Green, but she was a widely known and admired peace activist. She worked at the School for International Training in their Conflict Resolution program, and heard River Singers sing there many times, and "loved our music." So her husband invited us to sing. We will be singing 4 songs: "Mnohaya Lita," a Ukrainian birthday song; "Jovano, Jovanke," a very popular Balkan song; "Dibuligile," a South African song, and "Angels Hovering 'Round," an Appalachian call and response song; I will be singing the call, as I always do before our concerts. ,
