It was a time when every radio blared out music that was danceable yet sophisticated. The Vintage Vocal Quar- tet’s “Swinging Harmonies” show dials in the sound of Glenn Miller’s Modernaires, the Nat King Cole Trio, the Andrews Sisters, and Tom- my Dorsey’s Pied Pipers, as well as Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzger- ald, and Jo Stafford. These four vocalists double on piano, bass, guitar and trumpet, so you’ll hear the full, rich style of the big band era in a tight little package. Songs include Stardust (Pied Pipers with Frank Sinatra), New Hampshire is the Undecided (Delta Rhythm Boys), Don’t Fence Me In (Andrews Sisters with Bing Crosby), Walking My Baby Place to Be! Back Home (Nat King Cole), Their Hearts Were Full of Tammy Levesque’s Outdoor Spring (Four Freshmen) and Don’t Sit Under the Apple Adventure Social Club (OASC) Tree (Glenn Miller’s Modernaires). finished their season in a big way, hiking Straightback Generously supported by Bank of New Hampshire, Taylor Mountain and Mount Major both on the same day.

Wise words from the resident: “Since I've heard nothing further, and stopped snickering, I feel sure this was a scam. If these people put half as much effort into legitimate jobs, they would be wealthy.“ Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it’s most likely a SCAM!!!
