Elaine Dempsey, Marian Hubler, Chappell & Dave Holt, Victoria Blythe, Greg Beattie, Carolyn Gauthier & Cassandra Flipper sing the "Bread & Roses" song with music by Mimi Farina at the FAR-West "Best of the West" luncheon honoring Cassandra.
Cassandra is holding a beautiful painting of Bread & Roses founder Mimi Farina painted by her sister Joan Baez to be given to Cassandra Flipper as a surprise in honor of her FAR-West Ambassador award. Joan is singing in Serbia & could not attend, but sent a beautiful letter along with the painting.

A powerful double choir of Voices Rising: women building community through song and Women in Harmony, visiting from Portland, Maine. They all performed today in the Eliot Church of Newton, MA. Familiar songwriters such as Mimi Fariňa and Holly Near, but also some rare beautiful poetry settings and a song popularized by Frank Sinatra.
