[lehighu]

It’s "Brown and White" Friday, and Dean Flowers has been keeping our spirits up with a series of musical performances. He’s covered a teaching version of “I Will Survive,” and he's written a Lehigh version of “Folsom Prison Blues” and an electric version of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” in honor of colleague Linda Mery’s retirement.
