Just Plane Music...A Cappella And Otherwise

A cappella... some kind of Italian custard, right?

Naahh. It's singing with a group, but no instruments -- the voices and parts form a blended sound, instead. Fun to listen to -- even more fun when you're in the middle of it, and can hear that rich harmony all around you.
     The Brick and I have been singing regularly this month with a small group -- and every one of our songs has been done with just voices alone. Takes practice, and listening carefully. But it's rewarding as all getout.
     I'm headed to DIA, Denver's airport, this evening to pick up the Mama for her Christmas visit. It got me to thinking -- about music and planes. So here's what I came up with, as a sort of celebration of both.

     In honor of all those starting to travel for the holidays:

     This group was stranded at an airport, and showed off their skills while waiting:



"When life gives you lemons, sing," one of FACE's group members says, during their delay:



Or if you're lucky, the musicians have their instruments on the plane! 





You might even meet up with a flash mob or two, as well. (This one happened at DIA.)

    Have fun -- and be careful.
