The Fredösphere

The day has demanded too much of me to allow me to blog before now, what with watching the elder child "vomitating" all over the couch, and staying home all day with both children, and meeting a fellow choir director for a schmoozathon lunch, and some intense rounds of Mighty Mind, Sequence for Kids, and a jigsaw puzzle to assemble.  Thus, I offer you but one link today:  a former keyboardist for Michael Jackson was inspired to write a symphony after almost falling into a volcano:

In actuality, I did not slide far but it was a bit scary there for a moment," Martz said. Unhurt, he says he had an epiphany for the symphony. "Charles Darwin," Martz explained, "the music would be about evolution on the earth 200 million years into the future.

I love that:  "he explained."  He put out an add for "weird musicians who play weird instruments" and ... well, I'll let you read the rest of the details yourself.
