Just when you thought summer was over, we've got another blogger review of Sobeys Symphony Under the Sky to check out! It's all about waiting for the moment, so it seems apropos to post now. Read Jim Tustian's blog post here.
It seems that soon you may be able to get that Stradivarius sound on the cheap, using fungus-treated wood. This little tid-bit of an article from The Great Beyond explains how and why:
Given our affinity for posting videos of puppet-made music, we couldn't pass on posting this video of Steve Martin playing dueling banjos with the Muppets (via retroist.com):
Here's an interesting little project someone came up with (via bitsandpieces.us). Essentially, they took a photo of birds on power lines (which so happened to look like a music staff) and composed a short piece based on the premise that the birds represent the notes on the staff.

Hopefully you've already read many of our bloggers reviews of Sobeys Symphony Under the Sky. Several posted multiple reviews, and a few posts are still to come, but I wanted to do a recap of posts so far, linking to specific posts:
Saturday always feels like the fullest day at Sobeys Symphony Under the Sky, with two concerts and a BBQ in between. I'd have to say that the weather was nearly perfect yesterday - pleasantly warm, but not too hot. And the crowds came out - I haven't heard the final numbers for Saturday night's movie-music concert, but I've only seen the hill that full a couple of times.
So the weather outside may not be perfect, but it's actually not bad, the day considered. The grass is a bit damp, but people are here, at Sobeys Symphony Under the Sky! And judging by the rehearsal, this is going to be a spectacular show!
Sobeys Symphony Under the Sky is just a few short days away - and if the weather holds, I'm guessing it's going to be one of the busier SSUTS we've had.
