I'm with Joe. I was at a caroling event the other night, and half the people there (who were younger) had never, ever, ever, sung with other people. They barely knew the carols (and that was mostly from supermarkets). By the end of the evening they were really into it -- lost their inhibitions, everything.

This lack of singing is some kind of terrible tragedy being wreaked on everyone.

But getting them going is really a kind of bliss to watch and be part of. I hope everyone would be in favour of this, RUS or no rus.

yours,

Peter T.
