Did you hear some mysterious singing last night?
Some residents of south and east Green Lake heard Christmas carols last night (Thursday, Dec. 23, 2010) for about half an hour in the 9 o’clock hour. Lisa Schaefbauer, who lives a couple of blocks from the lake, told me that she could hear the music “as clearly as if it were being played in the front yard.”
“We thought maybe there was a group of professional singers caroling,” Lisa said, “but then we heard the announcer say something about ‘Argosy.’”
Lisa was correct, the music was courtesy of Argosy. My Wallingford explains:
At first we thought it was carolers…but the sound was fixed. Then we thought it was someone blasting Christmas carols from their stereo. Thanks to Twitter we realized that last night was the Argosy Cruise’s Christmas Ship Festival grand finale at Gas Works Park. (We’re a mile up the hill from Gas Works and could hear the singing clearly.)
The voices you heard were from the Seattle Girls’ Choir – Prime Voci. Here’s video from last year’s finale. If you have pictures or video to share from last night, let us know at tips@mywallingford.com.
