With the rapid influx of flash mob videos whirling around the Internet, I was hesitant to view another YouTube entry that held such a description.

Maybe with a bit of intuitive connection, my beautiful sister sent the attached video to me late last night, knowing well I had a challenging day and was in for a long evening. She is well aware of my love of music, from show tunes to mo town, indie folk to a handful of guilty pleasure pop hits, but this, this takes the cake.

Music evokes a deep level of emotion, from generation to generation, between family, friends, and strangers. Take a moment to watch this classy mob of musicians take over these onlookers’ lives for five minutes.
