I’ve discovered youtube is as dangerous as Wikipedia. I can get on either site and get wrapped up in it for hours following crosslinks.

Tonight I’ve been fascinated by a series of videos, apparently from a music festival in Cracow, Poland. I don’t understand a word of Polish but the talent is amazing. I’m guessing that this festival was also a benefit concert for some sort of cause. A lot of the performers appear to have a disability of one sort or another. One young boy in a wheelchair (but that doesn’t let him hold back belting out a great tune). A couple of singers I suspect are blind, one who is either a dwarf or has developed one amazing singing talent for a 5 year old (Actually I’m leaning in the direction of “talented kid” right now. Her face is just too young. But where she learned to sing like that at her age I’ll never know.)

It’s amazing how good music can sound, even when the words are absolutely unintelligible gibberish to the listener.
