Those who know me well know that I spent my college years singing in arches. Not the Golden Arches the dormitory arches and various university office buildings that I had chosen for this very purpose. There were plenty of other reasons to go but I had visited these windy places with great acoustics and seen students sing and I couldn’t get it out of my head. I wanted to join in the fine tradition of coming together to freeze your ass off in the name of a capella music.
We sang jaunty arrangements of Beatles tunes and a few jazz standards plus the occasional heart-stoppingly beautiful version of pop songs that some of you young brats might remember from your high school dances. We bobbed up and down and made saliva-filled attempts at vocal percussion. We wore scarves and hats and coats and gloves and wrapped our arms around each other our individual voices getting lost in the mix and we watched our breaths turn to mist. And if it was really cold there would sometimes be a bottle or thermos full of hot chocolate mixed with whatever awful mint schnapps was for sale at the liquor store across the street from campus. It was perfect.
