GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Seven-time Grammy-winning saxophonist Paul Winter and the Paul Winter Consort will perform a Winter Solstice Celebration on Saturday, Dec. 21, at 3 p.m. at Saint James Place, 352 Main Street, Great Barrington.
 
The event offers an intimate alternative to the large-scale productions Winter has hosted for years at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York. The performance will feature the signature solstice music audiences expect, along with longtime collaborator and vocalist Theresa Thomason, who has been a staple of Winter's celebrations for over 25 years.
 
The Consort lineup includes Thomason, cellist Eugene Friesen, bassist Peter Slavov, pianist Henrique Eisenmann, drummer Rogério Boccato, and Winter on soprano saxophone.
 
Tickets for the Dec. 21 performance are $75 and available at www.saintjamesplace.net.

Letter: Thanks to Pete's Garage in Sheffield

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

I want to commend a wonderful person who works there [at Pete's Garage]. I had a flat tire and only had a few dollars. This young man checked the tire and I was informed that it can't be repaired. He changed my tire with the spare.

I can't thank a person like that enough. You have very nice people living in the Shires. Nobody in Connecticut would do that. Thank you very much sir.
