Flash Mob Aspirations?

Did someone say I rocked the tambourine recently?  I'd been wishing that whole nite for a more interactive-jammy sort of affair.   And, I was careful to both a) take breaks and b) not giveaway that dangerous 16 bell instrument ha.  My new favourite song is from that nite, I can't stop singing it:


Yes, I've attended one choir practice, and hope to get there an hour before an upcoming event for another.  Its about the spirit of it all right?  I love how everyone in this group has their own way of jotting notes on the lyrics, and can't wait for the singalong... and, I am grateful for "practice tracks" like this one:



Have you imagined converting the Uke Club into a Flash Mob group of some kind? I have, but instead we have a new regular meeting place, and I attended last night...
