Village Harmony

This past week, Ellen and I went to two Village Harmony concerts, one on Sunday afternoon in Westminster-West, and one Tues eve in Woodstock, VT. They were both great, but the Woodstock one was the greatest. At that one, the three leaders were Carl Linich (Georgian music), Suzanna Park (American folk music) and a woman whose name I don't remember (Ukrainian music ). The singers were all 13-18 year-olds. It was the last concert in a two-week tour and they sounded great. We wished Mimi had been with us for that one. She did come with us to the one on Sunday, and she knew one of the girls (who said she loved the camp), but while it was good, it didn't knock her socks off. We think she would love Village Harmony, but we're not sure she'll ever do it. It is one of the greatest things out there for teens.

Carl is an American, but lived in the Republic of Georgia for a decade and is a  an official "master" of Georgian music - I.e., he has mastered 500 songs! 

The other thing we did this week was to have John and Cynthia over for supper and a "Slide Fest." I have 15 carousels full of slides, and I want to cull the very best and toss the rest. I thought they could help me decide what is "best." We had fun. Ellen made a nice platter of veggies and we had fresh corn. Yum!
