December 21: Chase away the chill of winter… “Hot Cup of Cocoa” by Phyllis Aleta Wolfe White. The GFS Chorus is singing this one in their concerts today (masked, of course). We’re sad that the audience is limited to two guests per performer (we wish you all could be there) but we’re grateful to have the chance to perform at all. These kids sound amazing; one would never know that they only get to rehearse once a week before school for 40 minutes. Congratulations, kids! Sing Daily & Stay Healthy! – Mrs. Propp

December 18: It’s a two-song kind of day: “Peaceful Easy Feeling” written and performed by Jack Tempchin (sorry – there’s no lyric video for the Eagles version, but there’s audio). Birthday boy Bob Witeck’s friends Tom & Julie thought Bob might also like a song sung by Pink Martini & The Von Trapps, so here’s a tutorial on how to make “Schnitzel”. Happy Birthday, Bob!
