In remembrance of the victims of 9/11, Johanna* and I participated in a big choral collaboration of many choruses and choirs. The music was wonderful and the ceremony moving without being too much to bear. What I found really amazing though was how nice almost all choristers were. You have 350 people thrown together in a small space, working to make one piece of music out of all the voices and everybody is friendly and courteous and there is a certain kind of singer's camaraderie. My mother used to say: "Go where there are people singing, 'cause evil people have no songs." That is a nice thought.
