I found this essay very moving. I cried when watching Bobby McFerrin lead the audience in intuitive song... apparently I'm in need of hearing humanity joining together for cooperative, fun action. I'm glad to have learned about Eliot Higgins of Bellingcat. And of course, I'm always impressed by your thoughtful and moving observations about the social world. All my love to you and yours, Mari. 🦋🧡🦋

PS I'd totally forgotten about Mr Hansen's method of ensuring choir members had memorized new music!

Thank you for sharing this reaction! Bobby McFerrin always fills me with joy--not just for his musical gifts, but for his generosity in sharing them with regular people. Love back to you and Rich!
