"Day in the Work Life": The Hills Are Alive

Songwriter John Cassel

On this week's "A Day In the Work Life" -- our look at how folks trade their time for money -- we sing lyrics with a songwriter.

Songwriter John Cassel lives on a Vermont farm he bought in 1967. When he's not at work at the Von Trapp Lodge, he's busy writing a musical, set in the 60s, about hippie musicians and local farmers teaming up to fight a ruthless land developer. "I used to say, 'I'm not a hippie - I have a job!'" jokes Cassel. "But I did have hair out to here." (Photo: Dianne Finch)
