Good evening Jerry, Ron and others around the table,

I wanted to call your attention to a thread I posted today above the line which I think is up your alley, but might not be obvious from the title: "Threshold Choirs, Inspiring Volunteers." It is about choirs that sing at the bedsides of the sick, the dying, women in childbirth, people in comas, in neonatal units, wherever their presence at a bedsides of people in need of comfort are requested. Their website URL is given.

One such choir sang to a musician friend of mine as she died after a long, hard struggle with lupus. They sang to her throughout the night until the end of her life on earth. They had come to her several times in the hospital in the previous weeks, and their singing brought her great joy.
