The Nashua Granite Statesmen did a street stroll in downtown Nashua on Valentines Day.
We sang a few love songs and passed out a few roses as we walked up and down Main St.

We would like to thank Martha Exchange, San Francisco Kitchen, Giant of Siam, Casa Viejo
Mexican Restaurant, Tostao’s Tapas-bar, and Margaritas for allowing us to come in and
entertain their guest with 2 to 3 songs on this special day.

- Warm Ups are the best way to start singing well!

Every Chrorus and Quartet does it, the warm up. I love a good warm up, stretching the various, sometimes tired body
parts out before we sing does help us all. These videos are courtesy of BHS whch include Elizabeth Davies, Steve
Scott and more!
