I sing in and chair a Refugee choir

[gopiscrap]

made up of native US citizens, refugees and immigrants...usually rehearsals are a lot of fun and community,
tonight it was different. There was a pall of sadness this evening. I couldn't get it out of my head what those poor children and parents are going through.

1. Oh how lovely, gopiscrap, a choir!! - - I am so sorry for that "pall of sadness" that surely was so

heavy tonight...the whole country, with a few rabid exceptions, is sighing along with you all...hell, maybe the whole world, g (with a few more exceptions) -

You take care and keep the faith, please, we need some beautiful MUSIC now more than ever!!

2. thank you...I do it partly becaue I am an immigrant and my mom was a refugee

3. ...and partly because you're GOOD PEOPLE (and because you can SING, unlike so many of

the rest of us!!)

Thank you for making this country a more wonderful place to live, g, and please keep the faith!

4. If you can, record and post some songs.

I was lucky enough during the bad Nicaragua situation to know a "choirmaster" and he did and I still have the tape.

On edit: LOL! My favorite hippie song.
