A little cold weather entertainment

From a e-mail from a friend:

Back in the days of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Red Army had an official choir composed of male soldiers and musicians. It still exists. The Red Army Choir performs throughout Russia to this day.

Now consider the Finnish rock band called The Leningrad Cowboys. A little while ago, they held a concert in Russia, in which - to the screaming applause of Russkie teen-agers - they got the Red Army Choir to join them on stage for a performance of "Sweet Home Alabama." In English.

Check out some of the other available clips also.

Had it e-mailed from a guy I found on Bainbridge NTC web site who happened to have been in the same company I graduated with. We weren't there at the same time however. He left it for hospital with pneumonia before I went to it from the hospital after having had pneuminia. I guess we could pass ourselves off as "Hacks". Cough, cough.
