The Intricate Harmony of Overlapping Memories

What was I saying, about the effects of technology on small-town life?

So tonight I'm sitting in my living room in Fountain Hills with the iPad open next to me while I watch a Youtube livestream from my hometown in Colorado. The livestream is of the the district-wide Elementary School honor choir. My 10-year-old niece is singing in the ensemble, representing her school. They're performing in the same auditorium in downtown Fort Collins where my own high school choir once sang, along time ago.

The first piece they sing, "Possum Gonna Play", turns out to be have been arranged by this guy, who used to sing next to me in the bass section of the Willamette University Choir in 1985.*

Out of continuity, I hope my niece has similar pleasant experiences of intruded past experiences, many years from now.

*and who composed our class Glee song in the Great Fiasco of '88. Those who were there know what I mean.
