I once wrote about the https://flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2012/07/16/som-sabadell-flashmob/ in Spain performing Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy”. An orchestra is a community, a strong community, maybe even with morality, with a certain readiness to take social responsibility. My friend Akbar Simonse introduced the orchestra of his Dutch hometown The Hague / Den Haag, The Netherlands, supporting a street musician:

I think flash mobs are great. It takes a lot to perform in front of many people and hope that they do not get upset. These passengers look quite pleased to have the musicians playing. I would, too. Lovely song … great post.

Love the idea of orchestra as a morality.
Completely enjoyable post. 🙂

yes Jamie, orchestra as a morality – many could, if they would! on the other hand, playing alone like the old masters of blues guitar has a hidden message too (like many book authors): it is important to do one’s own matter – with some self reliance, not waiting weakly for the help of others …

Indeed. I believe that is true as well. One must have integrity and focus …
Bravo, Frizz!
