What a great song and I am happy for those kids who must have had the best time singing and playing it. (-:

Hello. My sister is singing in that recording! She was either in Touring choir, or the one below it, I'm not sure. I am also currently singing in scs myself in the performance choir (current name for the touring choir)! It's amazing to see how you were once apart of something I love, and you are now huge!

I just watched several of your videos playing the khaen. What a talented, unique, amazing person you are to keep on being creative in the midst of having CFS. I too have had CFS for 25 years and it is frustrating to live with so many limitations after the previous lives we led. But you are not letting that stop you and that inspires me to keep on keepin' on! Thank you Hal for being you and for sharing your writing, your music and your courage in the face of adversity!

Honestly, that's a pretty incredible story. I love it! What other treasures are you going to find in all those hard drives?

I can't think of a Hal-ier song that this great work of yours! You've got the train sounds, the harmonica choir (!), the syncopated casual language, and complicated melodies that you taught them to sing from their hearts instead of their minds. I can just imagine you during rehearsals, teaching this by rote (I assume, right?) with your contagious energy. I loved it!!!!! Thanks for sharing, Hal!
