thats a big oak tree. maybe 300 years old. I'm surrounded by them. and mormons!

This was taken at a different Goshen - in northern Indiana, where Mormons are, I think, fairly sparse. I would guess that there are more Mennonites, Amish, and varieties of Protestants in the area. As well as many big oak trees!

Pat, you are becoming quite the movie producer! The sound was quite good on this one.

[PLBrayfield]

Thanks for the kind words. I changed cameras to get a more acceptable sound. The poor sound quality on a few of my videos was not due to poor singing - being present, I can say that to my ear, the singings always sound wonderful and the experience of being there, the whole context, is like nothing else I have ever known.

I should like to pass the rest of my life in the USA so as to be near this wonderful music!

It's been too long since I've been to a sing. Thank you so much for posting this, especially "Africa." That song always gets to me!
