I hope this brings a smile to everyone's face:

That was great fun Stephen. By the way, did you know that tune was written not by Richard Rodgers, but by Richard Wagner?

Not my type of humor...

Looks like it would have been a fun event to witness ... although obviously orchestrated and properly choreographed, but still a neat thing for that group to do :up:.

I'm really peeved that nobody's asked me to explain my comment about Richard Wagner - but I'll do it anyway. I'm no great opera fan, but a couple of times when I've listened to the overture from Tannhauser on the radio I heard it quite clearly - "Sew, a needle pulling thread, La, a note to follow sew, Tea, a drink with jam and bread." The notes are all in there.

Thanks for that Stephen, they all seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Thanks, folks. I thought it was fun and jhnbrbr - thank you for pointing out the bit about Wagner. Never knew that before. Anyway, I think it would be quite interesting to be in such a place when one of those flash mob events happened. Looks like it would be quite an experience.

There is a group in New York called Improv Everywhere and they perform those beloved flash mob-type things. Here are a couple more:

Thank you for sharing those Stephen. They both had the feel good factor, I loved the look on people's faces.
