I’m not terribly musical, but like to sing. I started humming and singing something from Pirates as I started walking on the main drag. Within seconds a student started singing along with me – in harmony and a much better voice. Halfway down the block we grew to three and then to four. We continued through another block where we stopped at the lights, exchanged smiles and parted ways.

It is wonderful being in a spot where the mean free path between people unafraid of expressing themselves like this is so short.

I’ve tried this in other areas with less success, but even a bit brings a smile. Last Fall two of us had a group of people singing the rounds in Donovan’s Happiness Runs.

Highly recommended!!!
