Oh my gosh Pidge. I just can't stop laughing and crying at the same time. As a fellow Amreican I couldn't be prouder he's touching lives in such a great way, that he connects us to those who share it in the same way. As a parent, it touches my heart for you. All we want is for our sons and daughters to be joyous. And what joy. The joy just brings me to my knees. I don't why, but I just can't believe how universal it is. I am awestruck with how deeply they joined in at would probably seem like a strange/silly request from this odd fellow. What a great oddity. Thank you so much for this, it's fantastic in every way.

I think what amazes me is he has been doing this for a while now. He has that ability to infect others with his joy. And yes, it made me want to get up and dance!!!!

I've looked at the 2008 video probably 5 or 6 times already. I absoltuely love this and can't wait to be able to download it. We are all alike in so many more ways than we're different. Why can't humankind get it together? Matt sure is doing his little piece.

I thought for sure this was going to be a movie review for Mamma Mia!

Me too Lisa. I was so excited that she'd reviewed it since I saw it this weekend.

It took me a while to get it downloaded into a format I could see, but was worth the effort. I grinned so hard it hurt. I played it twice so I could watch the faces of all the participants, and how they danced and thought the same thing.......how universal is dance/music/fun and absolutely if we could wish anything for our children it would be to be joyous.

my 21 year old son rarely sends me stuff like this, but here he felt it was special. And so it is......just an ordinary-looking guy, someone you's sit next to on the bus. But underneath is a very, very extraordinary person, and the joy he spreads is wonderful. Batya

This made me think of something I'd forgotten. A few years ago when I went to my usual market, they were playing elevator musak on the loudspeaker. Somebody had picked out really prime stuff from my younger days, and I remember seeing a few people shuffling to the beat in the isles behind their carts. When I got to the checkout, the bagger was sort of twisting and humming and I KNEW THE WORDS! I started singing, he joined in and we did a duet, lol. I could hear chuckles from the captive audience behind us, and the smiles in their eyes told me they were "that" close to joining in. They should have. It's what we would have called a Happening in the sixties.
