The Sounds Good holiday concert was truly "The Wonder of Christmas"! The performances by Sarah Bleasdale, Jim Fredericks, Julia Gmeiner, Frank Mastrone, Richard Weidlich and the Davenport Ridge Elementary School Singers (under the direction of Frank Merendino) were memorable. Not only did Jim sing but he accompanied the singers with his marvelous piano playing.
