A Random Act of Culture

That's what they call this: a random act of culture. This happened in the Macy's in Philadelphia. 650 singers of the Philly Opera Company showed up and sang. The Wanamaker Organ is a permanent fixture in Macy's. It's beautiful. (Appears at the beginning of the video.)

I cannot see such a thing ever happening in Oklahoma . . . anywhere in Oklahoma, he observed dryly.

Isn't that great? Every once in a while I glimpse possibility in the human species.

I know . . . it was awesome. Just think, over 300 members of the chorus had to show up to do this.
