Oct 2013

A science fiction convention panel discovered that we all had some claim to being called singers (during the panel, BTW). And we and the audience all broke into Amazing Grace, all three verses, no words written down, in three-part harmony. Isn't that impressive?

The deck was stacked a little bit by the panel's topic being religion in SF, but my point (and I do have one) is that Amazing Grace is carved into our culture, all three verses, no words written down.
