Flash mob: Ode to Joy


A friend of mine sent me this and it made me realize once again that art and music are most powerful when they happen spontaneously among everyday people, not locked away in museums and concert halls.

I love the reaction of the children!

Enjoy!

    Hi Darlene,
    I know, I keep watching it over and over again. They do this with operas as well in Europe. In Spain, for instance, at an open air market, one of the sales people began to sing and soon others joined in. I have to look for that video again.
    Thanks for dropping buy.

    I mean of course "dropping by"–fat fingers.
