Thanks to Uncle Ron, I just watched a wonderful video, which I've put here for your to enjoy. The following is quoted from the creativeminorityreport.com web site.
"Just this past weekend, shoppers at the the Macy's in Philadelphia (the old Wanamaker building) were surprised when over 600 choristers who were there mingling with regular shoppers suddenly burst into Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. It's pretty awesome.
The Opera Company of Philadelphia was instrumental in bringing it together to perform one of the Knight Foundation's "1000 Random Acts of Culture" which they'll be doing over the next three years across the country. Accompanied by the Wanamaker Organ - the world's largest pipe organ - the singers burst into song at exactly noon."
This blog contains the random thoughts of a guy named Tommy. We'll share thoughts on writing, photography and anything else I want, because it's my blog and not yours.

This is awesome, Tommy (and Uncle Ron! :-)! Brings back such WONDERFUL memories, when we used to live in the Bay Area and would go out, every year, and find a church that had 'Handel's Messiah' offered for the public to sing along with, during the Christmas seasaon. I can't imagine a COOLER forum than this to have done this at! Exposing HUNDREDS at a time to this BEAUTIFUL piece of music! Imagine this happening throughout the country?! Oh MY! I think it would help bring the Christmas Spirit that much closer to EVERYONE around us! Thank you BOTH for sharing this! I'll try to remember to post something of this nature at Christmas as well. :-)
Thanks TC. It certainly does help get you into the Christmas spirit. I could use some of that this year.
