Beauty in the Dark
Rachel Bissex - Topic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69hMlLWBCG0
At one point, Rachel Bissex was thinking of rerecording some of her early songs. She asked people on her mailing list for suggestions. I listened to her early albums and picked "Beauty in the Dark." Whether or not Rachel planned to use it, I do not know; but she expressed definite interest in the idea.
Rachel was very broadly informed about music goings-on in and around Burlington, Vermont. When I was putting out a newsletter about New England popular music, Rachel was my go-to person for northern Vermont information.
Rachel may have been best known for "Drive All Night." She is paid fond tribute on the various artists collection, "Remembering Rachel." Its cover illustration is very pretty.

SUPPORTING FIRST RESPONDERS
Bernie Sanders held a roundtable with first responders in Burlington on Monday, hoping to address their challenges and secure federal support. Topics discussed included recruitment, pay, training, and equipment. Vermont’s congressional delegation is supporting a bill that would guarantee payment for first responders, even if they do not transport someone to the hospital. Representative Becca Balint has introduced a similar bill in the House.

This is an initiative that I certainly support. God knows what might have happened. I make no such claim. It is entirely possible, though, that a Golden Cross rescue team may have saved my life in May 2023.
