Young @ Heart

I'd like to share a movie with you that I think you'd all thoroughly enjoy! Eric and I went to see it yesterday and it is fantastic!! It's hilarious and sad, moving and inspirational. I'd love to see it again! I think most of you know I'm apart of an a'capella group here in Denver. The Last Note Singers. If you didn't know... you do now! It's a lot of fun and this new singing family are a wonderful group of people. The description of the film and a few websites about the documentary are below. I'd highly recommend you search for a theater near you and rush out to go see it!

Here's the description:
Young@Heart is a New England senior citizens chorus that has delighted audiences worldwide with their covers of songs by everyone from The Clash to Coldplay, James Brown to The Rolling Stones. Based in Northampton, Massachusetts, the group is made up of two dozen spirited seniors who specialize in reinterpreting rock, punk and R & B classics from a unique perspective. Their lineup includes former schoolteachers, executives, doctors and food service workers, and the chorus is guided by their longtime director Bob Climan. With less than two months to go until a one night only concert in their hometown, the performers struggle with the new lyrics and unfamiliar melodies of several new songs. During their thrice weekly rehearsals, they gradually take possession of music ranging from R&B classics like Allen Toussaint’s Yes We Can, Can to Coldpay’s emotionally powerful ballad "Fix You" upending assumptions about old age, love, sex and death.
