I loved this missive… and I too, think joining voices in song - watching and/or participating - is a magical “whole so much greater than the sum of its parts” kind of experience. To get a little touch of St. Paul/Minneapolis Minnesota AND the beauty of carrying forward that trove of music often relegated to mildewy pieces of sheet music found in darkened thrift shops : YouTube fun galore are the monthly LiveStreamed sing-alongs led by the great MInnesota musicians, Ann Reed and Dan Chouinard - https://www.youtube.com/live/N8aH6W4IVcQ?si=OedsWYZeeotESEzR (link to one of the recent Sing-a-Longs). Beautiful humans keeping all those great songs alive and well; sung together AND streamed for the many who are safest singing together, from home. Never have I ever so enjoyed a rousing accordion-accompanied cover of ‘Goodnight Irene’. It’s the pure joy of PHC, the love one feels for grandparents and as the great Dougie MacLean calls it ‘The World’s Choir’ all rolled into one!!! And you can watch and sing Live AND saved on YouTube, over and over !! ❤️
