Did you hear them?

Here’s what the Republican-American caption (above) says:

“Patrick Reardon, second from left, plays an air guitar with backup singers, from left, Collin MacDonald, Jeff Ott, Dave Steinberg, Dan Allison, Mark Bachiochi, and Steve Ferketic as A Completely Different Note, a male a cappella group from the University of Connecticut, performs as Bakerville United Methodist Church in New hartford on Sunday. The concert was sponsored by the Friends of the Bakerville Library, and proceeds will benefit the library. Visit www.rep-am.com to watch a video of the concert.”

Here's a link to that video (not sure how long it will last).

And someone has posted two of their songs from our concert last year on YouTube: here and here

"Wow, you listen to those kids up there, and you think, the country's going to be all right."
