Ode To Joy

[Buenchico]

As we seem to be posting flash mob videos this evening, I'll offer this one from a (massive) Tokyo shopping mall. It's slow to start but once the chorus joins in it's a joyous as Beethoven could ever have wanted it to be.

Turn the volume up!

loved that Chris. This is very touching

No thank you. No place for EU propaganda here.

[Buenchico]

Nice video, Tambo - even if that is one hymn that I really, really hate ;-)

Yes, I know that it's the EU anthem, Jack but, to the best of my knowledge, Japan hasn't yet joined the EU ;-)

[cashier]

Fabulous. How uplifting.

[Buenchico]

Thanks, Cashier ;-)

Headphones, Chris. I use them for everything. Plenty of volume ;o)

Reminds me of the JW Thompson ad 'Our Heroes' are back, created for th Rijkswijk Museum on its re-opening....pure brilliance and shot in one go (for the audience's reaction).

You may have seen it before, Chris, as it's not the first time that I have posted this. It's still special though and the music may be familiar!

Elegant to start, fabulous ending . Thanks .

I enjoyd that Chris, Tambo, I seen the Daniel O Donnells niece one many times - nice though

[Buenchico]

I've just responded to that video (posted by Barsel) on TB's thread, DTC!

Thanks, Anne. They certainly put some energy into that performance!

[Buenchico]

Thanks, Ducksie ;-)

the title perhaps not apropos as to the news about Theland (and, of course, Ummmm, from earlier in the week...)

[gness]

Bliss.... :-)

Thanks, Tambo. I've never seen that. I have a lovely friend of many years. It was a long time before I knew she's Daniel's auntie. I was friend spotting in your video! :-)

That was woncerful, buenchico, thank you, and werent they having a wonderful time? You can't beat a piece of Beethoven, or Elgar, or Handel.......... How Great Thou Art was one of my mum's favourite hymns. Very mixed emotions today.

Loved DTCs post too, bit worried for the chicken though. Love 'Morning' too, a bit awkward if you were desperate to make an escape! I am having an inspiring morning. Thanks all.
