Thankful: For People Who Dare to Share

Love the Lord your God with all your heart 
and with all your soul and with all your strength 
and with all your mind'; 
and, Love your neighbor as yourself.
Luke 10:27

A heart filled with love, compassion and kindness is a heart that wants to share.  So much of modern life aspires to gather to one's self, rather than giving out to others.  In my area of livelihood, however, giving to others is part and parcel of the gig.  Music is meant to be shared, to be savored, to be experienced - not hoarded for a singular enjoyment.

I am fascinated by flash mobs - people who secretly gather together in a public forum and measure by measure build a musical presentation for any and all who are within earshot.  Mall are a favorite place, as well as parks and city squares.  In Copenhagen, Denmark, however, one enterprising professional group decided to flash mob the subway, with delightful results.  Relax and enjoy the Copenhagen Philharmonic present Morning from the Peer Gynt Suite.
