I can only imagine what it must have been like to have been shopping in this Philadelphia Macy's store, when all these trained singers, supposedly just shoppers, burst into song. What an amazing event. What an incredible idea. Gee, what if more of us randomly burst into song, or poetry, or other various hallelujahs? What if...

Well, this made me smile and weep at the same time. I wish I had been there!! It was neat to see how many others knew it well enough to sing along!!! Love the concept!!! I hope it happens more and more in other places!!!
(this is ginger....went with anonymous...it was easier)
According to what I read, those people who were singing along were members of the many choirs/choruses who participated. They were instructed to blend in with the other shoppers until time to burst into song. Pretty cool, eh?
If you go to the Random Acts of Culture web site, you can see opera at the airport, Mozart at a government building, etc. They all look very spontaneous.
Now imagine this: a group of poetry lovers suddenly leave their tables at a mall food court, or Whole Foods, etc. and begin reciting a Mary Oliver poem. Pre-arranged with management, of course. You game? ;-)
I know, I know, you want to be the photographer...
I am thinking it would work better at a book store cafe.......
