Sometimes imperfection can be kinda cool

Most of the time, when we are planning events, we spend a lot of time figuring out how to make everything perfect. Sometimes, though, the imperfections are what make an event memorable. Here's an example from an event Community Events is involved in called "Military Morning." One of our attendees, an 80+ year old World War II veteran, suggested that we should end the event with a rousing verse of "God Bless America" with him in the lead. I'd never heard him sing and had no idea how it would turn out. He certainly was not a professional and was not likely to meet the kind of standards I preferred for event entertainment. But that wasn't really the point, was it?

Have a listen...
