When things begin to get you down or the world overwhelms, it usually helps to listen to music that inspires you. A song I've recently found very inspirational, among many - even though I don't understand the words - is a song from the sound track of the documentary Patterns of Evidence Freedom: The Dawn Of Exodus

But one of the harshest comments came from 81-year-old Hilaria Bustamante of...

Boston Gay Men's Chorus will champion rights in Europe By T.J. Medrek Wednesday, June 22, 2005 The Boston Gay Men's Chorus has taken its act - and its message of gay rights - on the road for a 10-day, three-city tour of Europe that includes the first performance ever by an openly gay group in Poland.

Britons join in a chorus of fear for Arafat By David Blair in Ramallah (Filed: 06/10/2003) Amid the rubble of Yasser Arafat's besieged headquarters, an Italian male voice choir appeared yesterday singing: "Goodbye, darling." The 20 singers from Turin gathered near a pile of wrecked cars, all crushed by Israeli tanks, and serenaded the Palestinian leader from outside his office in the West Bank city of Ramallah. Yet nothing, not even the presence of pro-Palestinian activists from Devon who joined a "human shield", could lift the fearful atmosphere in the compound where Mr Arafat and his closest aides awaited Israeli...
