Thanks so much for sharing this compelling video and provocative question with everyone. I truly enjoyed!

I'm so delighted by your work that I included you in a round-up I just posted at my Blog Band-Aids ( http://blogbandaids.blogspot.com ).

If you're attending the BlogHer Conference, I hope to meet you there!

I really enjoyed the video clip, thanks for sharing. It's nice to know there is still some human kindness speading about in a time such as now.

Ah, what a lovely commute! Proving once again that the most beautiful moments in life are the least-planned.

Sounds like the Paris Metro. I love the Paris Metro! Not only spontaneous music but I've seen poetry recitations and puppet shows, accordian music and in the hallways of the metro I've seen full bands play all kinds of music. Although it's very rare to get the passengers as involved as this group did.

There's a subway line in New York that has a lot of accappella singers. They arrive in the car and sing 3 lines of a familiar song, collect money, and move onto the next car. It brightens up the commute but there's not a whole lot to it. These guys, on the other hand, are SPECTACULAR. I love this video and I hope they are in New York cause I'm on the look out for them. How fantastic to hear something that amazing on the subway. I love it.

I stand corrected -- earlier I said it was the Subway Series, but it's another group.

You can see more here ( http://www.artofurban.net ). I'm actually interviewing the man who plays a key role in the Subway series right now.

Oh, yes, how wonderful to hear the music in a setting that is all too silent of conversation and saturated with just noise. Certainly you would be up there dancing!

The video reminded me of one of the most magical experiences I had about four years ago, while travelling in a train in northern Germany with my children. A group of women and children got on the train and sat in the same almost-empty train car with my children and I. They were the members of an African women's choir and they started singing/rehearsing beautiful African songs while the train chugged along. The women sung beautifully, outside the window, the May rap fields were in bloom, the sun was shinning (a rarity in this part of Germany), and I had the feeling of being transported into a rarefied experience through the women’s song. Bliss.
