the song i sing

My perfect sing-song of everything. This is the melody. It is the gift I bring. And it has changed my life...

Nothing seems to sum up the YPC experience better than these lines from the YPC commission from Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens. It's amazing how the very human act of singing can act as a catalyst of friendship and hope, and yet it happens time and again, as if through some superhuman force. I've been reading so many articles about why this is so, but no one can seem to explain it. It just happens.

We are saying thanks to Amy Kotsonis tonight, and as a special valedictory performance, Amy is conducting our signature song, Jim Papoulis' Give Us Hope.

Thanks again for following our live blog. Thanks, V! Nice chatting with you!
