We rarely sing together (all of us at once and in the same place), but we do. From time to time. Quite often when we are not trying to. Quit...

Apparently, in 1338 and well into 1339, Death showed up for a grand performance at a little village of Nestorian Christians. The village was known as Issyk-Kul; it lay south of Lake Balkhash, Russia.
