Sounds Like
The Morning Cold, Lightning setting fire to a tree, and a Saturday Night Rock'n'Roll Dance Party at 4am Sunday morning.
We were born just before Midnight, into Einstein’s chaotic jumble of time and space, where a lifetime lasts the course of one long day. Fortunate were we to spend many, many glorious times around the greatest of hours, the worries of the world slipped out of mind and people with good hearts shared their spirits and practiced the language of imagination and revelry.
But, more importantly, it was the music that brought us all together and it was the music that allowed our bodies to loosen up and freed us to dance. These were the kind of celebratory times that all who share are thankful for their good fortune, knowing that not all of God’s creatures get to experience a time where their mind is set so free to dream, so much so that it can inspire them for a lifetime. But the Singers, given no exception to the unwavering hands of time, stealing away minutes, and often hours, can’t help to think back with a little sadness and longing, for that time of night where we permitted ourselves to let go of it all and be lost in a song. And in our thoughts, we wonder about the next Midnight on the very distant horizon. In the meantime, we’ll still sing, under the Sun or the Moon!
We all come from somewhere around the way, but can currently be found kicking around the City of Philadelphia. Our Mission Statement could read as follows:
Make No Mistake! NLMS are simply here to help our Friends, Neighbors, Brothers and Sisters…and those beyond, get loose on Saturday Night, leave their worries at the door, and Dance! Dance! Dance! It’s called Rock n’ Roll, people!
Let the Good Times Roll!
