Got some attention this evening on Burlington’s Church Street Marketplace from this suspicious-looking band of older fellas singing in the snow.

Singing pretty damn well, too. A real treat. And the snowflakes obliged.

It’s the one-and-only Green Mountain Chorus!

More here.

Thanks, guys!

Just had a conversation in Uncommon Grounds about what an especially depressing Christmas Season this is given:

1. The endless Bush-Cheney War in Iraq that everyone knows is based on Dubya’s success in deceiving the American people.
2. The melting ice caps and the global-warming crisis that worsens day-by-day in the Age of Exxon.
3. The cost, quality and accessibility of healthcare in our beloved America, and
4. The fact we’ve got more than a year left of America’s worst staying in charge.

Ti’s the season to be jolly
Fa la la la la,
la la la la.

Got something to say?

Peter Freyne, 1949-2009, wrote the weekly political column "Inside Track," which originated in the Vanguard Press in the mid 1980s; he brought it to Seven Days in 1995. He retired it shortly before his death in January, 2009. We all miss him.
