Going to school in Los Angeles is, in many ways, like being part of a giant Hollywood film. Out here, the sun is always shining, and you don't go too many days without spotting a celebrity. So when I think back on my recently completed stay at the University of Southern California, I think in cinematic terms. My movie starts with a girl, a classic California blonde. I had just transferred from Syracuse University in blizzard-beaten upstate New York. Shortly after we met, she persuaded me to audition for her a capella group, the SoCal VoCals. I figured anything that would increase my chances with this girl was worth a shot.
At first, my plan went perfectly. I got in and we started getting along better than ever. But then came the inevitable heartbreak—the girl graduated and moved to New York. Gone.

The line at the lemonade stand was long as the smooth sounds of local musical group “Root7” filled the Richmond farmer’s market on a recent Friday. The sweet smells of fresh baked bread filled the air as people danced under the falling afternoon sun.
“Dip de dip ... walking in a coal mine, going down and down, whoop, I might have slipped down ... ” an a cappella rendition of Lee Dorsey’s “Working in the Coal Mine” rang through the market as well as other fun favorites for kids and adults alike. A group of more than 30 sang along.
Root7 began two years ago with beat boxing man Joe Antonioli, of Williston, and funky baritone Ben Russell, of South Burlington. Soprano Karen Taylor Mitchell of Colchester joined, too, as did a total of seven. Hence, the name, Root7. But the name does have a deeper meaning.
