I walked past Kroeber Hall at UC Berkeley one evening 25 years ago, and was stopped in my tracks from what I thought was a choir singing Gregorian chant. I entered the building and discovered, to my delight, that the choir was just two guys in the stairwell.

nice.
My best friend's Mom had that song sung at her funeral. Her sons are all contractors.
I've never heard them sing though -- I don't know if they can.
The clip is awesome.

I was I was worried that he might have pitched it too high when they started, but boy was I wrong. It just kept scaling the wall.
Singing is the highest form of human activity. I loved it.
I'll bet those guys could tell you a lot about acoustics.
Really nice
Outstanding
One thing Christians and Jews got, is music.
That was beautiful.
My biggest regret in life is that I have no musical or singing ability.
Only complaint is that they didn't sing the verses too. Goosebumps! I adore that song.
