Kindness and a Barber Shop Quartet

"Music is a moral law.  It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything."
~ Plato

On a recent Sunday at a church event, we were treated to songs by a barber shop quartet.  The tunes immediately took me back to another time...  Saturday evenings at my grandparents' house watching the Lawrence Welk Show.  It was a beautiful thing to hear.  The men all looked to be in their late 50s or 60s and perhaps one in his 70s.  They shared that they sometimes sing at hospitals for children.  I marveled at the power of music and camaraderie to gladden hearts.
