Flash mobs: Would you, could you, on a train?

Here is the description from the YouTube site:

 In April 2012 Copenhagen Phil (Sjællands Symfoniorkester) surprised the passengers in the Copenhagen Metro by playing Griegs Peer Gynt. The flash mob was created in collaboration with Radio Klassisk http://radioklassisk.dk/. All music was performed and recorded in the metro. 

Much like the last one that I featured here (Which you all enjoyed so much), this one is also an advertisement of sorts. Except it is an advertisement for the Copenhagen Phil, which in my opinion makes it somewhat less manipulative, and more about the music.

Besides what a lovely way to start your Saturday, don't you agree?

Friday morning I started your day with beauty. Today I thought I would start your day with love.

I am sure that MANY first couples were deeply in love, and that their love was just as strong as the Obama's love appears to be.

However I simply cannot remember a time when their adoration for each other was as obvious as it is with President and Mrs. Obama.  If anybody wishes to correct that assertion please feel free to do so.

And, ONLY speaking for myself, I cannot help but feel it is this very obvious affection which humanizes Barack Obama, and most likely keeps him grounded and centered as he takes on, as I am sure we can all  agree, some of the most challenging problems to ever face our young nation.

In other words this love that they share gives me hope, in a way that simply having a smart, capable man in the White House, would never quite accomplish.
