Well, if you have one star shining, the light is beautiful, then another star joins the first and the light is even
more beautiful, then a fiddler appears, glides and tilts her head and strums her bow which leave a comet trail
of pixie dust, and then two more lights, intensely brilliant appear to join the others...while other lights float
in and around the main scene, the chorus, instrumentalists and directors....they are stars which light up the
stages of the US cities time and time again, they are stong, treless....they also cast beams to Europe, South America
and Asia...Then you have a phenomenon of a brilliant ensemble of music makers which light our worlds with their
talent and dedication to performing..their song choices inspire and uplift our souls...some of us even saying, "Why can't
I do that?" We want to be like them, creating harmonies and songs for the whole world. They bring out the best in
us....witness that beautiful singing by Annie, beautiful art by so many CW F members, incredible banners... our
resident muscians, our Irish consultant Maggie, Rosie , our Counselor, our Moderators, our college students-plugging
away each day carrying their loads with grace and having a ball at their respective Universities, our high school
students still living under mom and dad's rules and enjoying their siblings and friends....our grandparents, and retired
folks, ( including our veterans) our salt-of-the earth workers like Mel, without whom we wouldn't have a country...
Labor Omnia Vincent...(
oops the OKLA motto just slipped in)
They are a phenomenon because they have brought us all together as ONE !!!
