That singing reminded me of something:
I traveled with an uncle to Glacier National Park when I was a boy, maybe 13 yo, and we gathered in a large group with the other campers and sang songs.
Imagine that!
And then there was the 'Sing along with Mitch" stuff...as a culture, we used to have these...call them 'bonding' ceremonies, or rituals...
...things that brought us together, united us...
...sad that we became 'too sophisticated' to continue participating in such 'silly nonsense'...
