Sing, Celebrate, Defy the Unlight (Snarky Puppy, with Shayna Steele)

I return to a perennial theme, one I have written about here and here :  the raising of music by a group, to celebrate ourselves, so alone on this tiny vessel in the oceans of unlight.  Spurred no doubt by the steepening slope of night here in the northern hemisphere (sliding as we are towards the solstice), I think communal song is our telos.   Or certainly at the core of our purpose, if not the sum total.

Out of Nothing, Something... sing out the verse in us.

Daniel A. Rabuzzi is author of the fantasy novel "The Choir Boats," available from ChiZine Publications in September 2009.
"The Choir Boats" explores issues of race, gender, sin, and salvation, and includes a mysterious letter, knuckledogs, carkodrillos, smilax root,
goat stew, and one very fierce golden cat.
