Sing Out Loud

Musician, producer and strategist Brian Eno, about the benefits of singing:
"Well, there are physiological benefits, obviously: You use your lungs in a way that you probably don't for the rest of your day, breathing deeply and openly. And there are psychological benefits, too: Singing aloud leaves you with a sense of levity and contentedness."
From NPR's "This I Believe".

I agree; singing and harmonizing with a bunch of friends is fun. But remember, if you pick songs like "Love hurts", which appears on Eno's list, only one of the two can survive: the song or the friendship :)

Scout: And bring along a bottle of something. A large bottle, preferably. How the heck have you been?

BM: Singing Cohen in a large group would require razors and/or sleeping pills. (But Weezer might work, no?)
