We need more flashmobs playing Beethoven’s Ninth
More football fields filled with drummers playing We will rock you
More Irish step dancers taking over airports, brass bands slamming Sousa
More unseen choruses sneaking into shopping malls to sing the Halleluiah Chorus
More Bohemian Rhapsody singers jumping out of vans and storefronts
More haphazard spontaneous Romeo and Juliet balcony scenes
More run on sentences without punctuation
More kids harmonizing to Lennon and McCartney on a street corner for loose change
More random boogie-woogie players swapping riffs on an out of tune library piano
More blues singers in smokey bars
More 12 year old guitar heroes
More random Bob Marley
More harmonizing grandmothers
More parents and kids banging kitchen pots with spoons
A sting of fiddles, banjoes and mandolins ripping through some jazzed up Carter family
Dancers hands on shoulders doing Zorba and shouting Opa!
More pure voiced tenors singing opera in Italian so well it makes dummies like me listen
A violin solo so heart felt it stops traffic
More poets reading loudly and drunkenly to nodding crowds
More writers finding their voice and shouting it out
More bongos and tom toms and tambourines and triangles
More not quite in tune junior high brass bands
More trying, smiling
More
More of all of this
More of the sloppy wonderful this
And fuck the rest of it.
