Pittsburgh Aviary Post 1

This begins a series of posts based on my visit to the Pittsburgh Aviary yesterday (Friday May 30th). The following is a short video clip I took at the Free Flight Zone show of Max the Parakeet singing Happy Birthday. I wished I had turned the camera on sooner, because he just got done singing opera.

YES WE CAN!

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (In the Garden of Eden) lyrics, by Iron Butterfly

In-a-gadda-da-vida, honey,
Dont you know that I love you?
In-a-gadda-da-vida, baby,
Dont you know that Ill always be true?

Oh, wont you come with me
And take my hand?

Oh, wont you come with me
And walk this land?

Please take my hand!


this is a sketch i did in my notebook then added overlays of color using the freeware Inkscape

The Phat Man Dee graced us with her lovely singing voice.... "I'm just a Jewish girl singing Turkish..."

The view at one point from the stage. The crowd got even larger than this, then dwindled down to a few stalwart souls lounging on the pillows. Phat Man Dee may have invented horizontal karaoke....

Carmine took a break from the Oud for the doumbek to accompany Jeff on the sitar.

I ATTENDED JALSAH 6 PITTSBURGH at Your Inner Vagabond in Lawrenceville. Nancy played her clarinet, and I played middle eastern beats with a bodhran! It was fantabulous. My arm is toooo sore from playing my drum to say much more. But thanks CARMINE, MELISSA, MARK, BETH, and everyone else for a great night and for letting me jam with you. Here are some pics I took, more later. http://www.jalsah.org

2. Korn, "Twisted Transitor," featuring Lil Jon, Xzibit, David Banner, and Snoop Dogg as Korn.
3. Ok Go, "Here it Goes Again" (treadmills)
4. Gorillaz, "Dare" or pretty much any Gorillaz music vid ever...
