I love rock and roll but sometimes I have to cover school board meetings. Pining to play tambourine with Fleetwood Mac since 1979.

    Harmony really can chase away the chills. At least it can at MerleFest. On a dreary, overcast Friday morning, as Mitch Greenhill and Roberta Levitow's vocals lovingly wrapped around each other during "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright," sunshine seeped through a thinning bank of gray clouds. Cloud-parting, feel-good moments happen all the time at MerleFest.

A solemn and beloved city tradition, the Sunrise Service offers a period of calm and reflection, a counter to these zany times. The service will begin at 6 a.m. in the Salem Square at Old Salem. First held at Old Salem in 1772, the Sunrise Service has changed little over the years, adhering to its original mission of celebrating the resurrection of Jesus.
