Holiday Caroling – with Updated Resistance Lyrics
Want to sing holiday carols with “updated” lyrics of resistance? Join the WOFA Caroling Capers as we pop up at malls and street corners near you with “I’m Dreaming of Universal Healthcare!” “Jingle Bells, Corruption Smells.” No singing voice? No problem. Just come, have fun and remind our neighbors of what joy and kindness look like. Email Maria at [email protected]. Maria and Bob K. look forward to organizing a rehearsal or two and then off we go in December. We also want to launch a longer-term people power choir depending on interest.
