I Stand With Teachers
Being an educator has never been easy, but 2020 posed greater challenges than any schools have ever faced. And, as usual, teachers rose to the occasion. When schools shut down overnight, teachers rallied and moved classes online. But that’s not all–like the essential workers they are, teachers continue to risk their health to serve students and families, be it to distribute tech to keep students connected, or meals to help families in need. Teachers are the plainclothes superheroes in our midst. They deserve to be heard and celebrated, and that’s why we’re going to Stand With Teachers on December 21st and we hope you’ll join us.

Modern Folk Quartet
(Self-titled album)
The Modern Folk Quartet originated in Honolulu in the early 1960s. Henry Diltz, Chip Douglas, Cyrus Faryar, and Stan White created a sound that focused on acoustic instruments and group harmonies. Their debut, self-titled album, was appreciated by fellow musicians for the Folk-Rock transition they seamlessly created. An album review called their material “a superbly chosen selection of concurrently new traditional and original adaptations of standards from the folk music canon.
