|
which, for all I know, he might be....;) I adore his voice. But, thanks for emphasizing the symbolism.

I didn't realize until I saw a closeup of the chorus who they were--I'm watching on a small computer screen on the mainframe whilst typing here. That is, indeed, symbolic.

7. We're watching with an HD projector in the living room |
|
you couldn't miss the red ribbons on the 8' image.
I've been crying with relief and pride since "Fanfare for a Simple Man". How appropriate was that!
My partner and I were wet-faced and proud to see the gay mens' chorus, right in front of Lincoln.
It wasn't lost on us.
Gotta get back to it. Garth's m'man... he always put on a helluva show.

9. Which gay men's chorus is this? |
|
One of my brothers is in the Boston Gay Men's Chorus. I'll read him the riot act if he didn't tell me he'd be singing there! He didn't tell me when they sang in Prague either.
Where can I watch this on the internet?
