(Tweets?) Toots Day - Bird Song

Okay, this is quite a stretch, but that's okay. It's TweetsDay TootsDay?

You might consider this Part 2 to "Music Monday." I found the website for this PBS show "The Music Instinct" about music and science I mentioned on "Music Monday." I thought there might be some good online content, and I was right. Lots of good online content - check it out @ www.pbs.org/wnet/musicinstinct

And, what about Toots and Tweets? This TV program and its website linked in the above paragraph discuss bird song. Do birds toot? Um, again, kinda of a stretch, but you could argue so. A voice, whether bird, or humans, for that matter, have similar construction to a wind instrument. Think about it - a very flexible and fleshy wind instrument, but...sure... I'm an alto wind instrument - or actually tenor (I have a low vocal range for a woman.). How about you? And, think about this the next you hear a bird song.

Music Monday

From PBS - the Los Angeles KCET schedule to be specific... (Check your local PBS schedule.)

"The Music Instinct: Science and Song

Wednesday, June 24, 9:00pm [Pacific Time] An exploration of the music-mind interaction that delves into the neuroscience of how melodies and rhythms affect and influence the brain, featuring jazz vocalist Bobby McFerrin, classical cellist Yo-Yo Ma, deaf percussionist Evelyn Glennie."

This looks like something to be sure to catch - "appointment" TV viewing, as some say. No doubt there will be some good online content on the PBS website as well.
