Don’t count out Spain
Roving economic commentator John Mauldin reckons that however bad Spain is economically, it’s impossible to be pessimistic for very long about a place with the spirit to do this!
Beautiful. I wondered how many in the crowd who knew about it beforehand. I looked like that the singers from the crowd who were singing along were part of the setup. The fact that a lot of the singers in the crowd knew the lyrics, it meant that they knew it beforehand. So, all they did were just hanging around in that square waiting to hear the first 2 players to start playing and they all moved closer.
Amazing and it was well (self) organized. It seemed spontaneous (order) of how the crowd started gathering to watch the first 2 players playing. Ode Joy is perhaps my #1 favorite classical music.
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Bravo
ReplyDeleteand bravo for your website, Peter
Yes, great stuff. And, in an interesting (economically speaking) twist, the whole thing looks to have been put together by a bank (Banc Sabadell)!

I am not do sure about any optimism for Spain, Spaniard lives in the past, thinks Spain is special.

I felt uplifted, thank you Peter.
ReplyDeleteLooks like all involved did too.
