Thank you, Julie. I am clearly not well enough informed about stand-up comedians.

RIP Jerry Jeff Walker. As someone who grew up in the Western South but has spent (at this point) the majority of his life outside it, this song means a lot:

Oh, that’s a great song, Quincy. Sounds like a great night. I love how they start it up again at the end.

Ooooh, I've sung every one of those, Martin, and adore them all! Good memories. I imagine you've played percussion for them all?
That version of Bernstein's Mass with Jubilant Sykes as the Celebrant is particularly fantastic. Here's the point in the video at which the final redux of "Simple Song," then transformed into the Secret of the Catholic liturgy, begins:

I miss communal singing soooooooo much. Being part of making something so wonderful together...sigh.

Glad you enjoyed, Mark!
My favorite bit of Sheena Melwani and The Real Indian Dad:
Quote:
Why ya gotta be so ruuuuuuude...
"It's because you're not Indian. I'm sorry. Come back with Ph.D. Or doctorate in something. Not poetry."

(My little sister has a Ph.D. in something. Not poetry. Her husband is Indian.)

I envy you, Julie! I've played Bernstein's Chichester Psalms numerous times, and many of the percussion parts including the chamber version (arranged for organ, harp, percussion, and choir). I haven't played Symphony of Psalms or Faure's Requiem. But I love them both! (I have, however, played other pieces by Stravinsky, like The Rite of Spring, The Firebird, Pulcinella, and others.)
I've just added a link to a wonderful performance of the Stravinsky performed by L'Orchestre national de France in my previous post. I am right now listening to it.
I'm going to check out your links to the redux of "Simple Song" followed by the "Secret." Thanks!
Added in: Here is a quote I just read:

“The point is, art never stopped a war and never got anybody a job. That was never its function. Art cannot change events. But it can change people. It can affect people so that they are changed... because people are changed by art – enriched, ennobled, encouraged – they then act in a way that may affect the course of events... by the way they vote, they behave, the way they think.” ―Leonard Bernstein
