Don - Very nice photo, but, since by posting you ask for comment, I have to
point out that nothing in the photo provides me with any of the information
in your explanatory note - I don't know that there is anything
non-traditional about the music; don't know that there is any sort of
religious connotation to this singing; don't even know that it is acapella -
there could be an organ outside the frame.

I know this may seem like nitpicking - particularly as this is a very nice
image - but I believe it is an important nit: you've taken a very nice photo
of a group of people presumably singing, but the rest of your story isn't
there.

Nicely done Don.  It reminds me of old photos in Life
magazine.  It really tells a story with no words...a
wonderful accomplishment.
