      Actually, I'm fairly certain they were playing "Logan's Loop" throughout the season. It's right before Pulaski at Night on the album, kind of like a precursor to it.

      I know this comment was from one year ago - but I've just opened another tab to see where I can buy a violin. I've been thinking about it for a while, this may be the final sign iit's time to actually buy it. But I don't know how to play instruments, I can just read music if iit's not too complicated...

    My all time favorite Andrew Bird song! He performed a number of time in Pittsburgh, when I lived only 1.5 hrs from there, but always on a “school night,” and it was out of the question for me to attempt making a show on a “school night.” And I finally got to see him. Where, May you ask? Well, in Paris, France! I was directing a study abroad in Nantes, he was playing on a Friday night. I made it, and was so incredibly happy, especially when he played this song. Ok, TMI, I know! Thanks for your patience with me, folks!

    This song describes the bittersweet longing I have had for Chi-town since I first witnessed it's glory at 5.
    There I saw the Great White and other sharks, my favorite living 🦖 dinosaur at the time. The museum of Science and Industry taught me I was a skeleton, wrapped in watery flesh.
    As an adult, I returned to my love for 13 years; worked as a makeup artist, rallied the goth-industrial freaks like me; flapper-spooked all and danced 'til dawn
    There, I became an adult. Even through troubled waters 🌊 when I left, I yearned for that City's kiss. Salt of the Earth people, big city lights with FAMILY vibes.
    It's a location with unbearable pain and injustices that are overdue to be healed and set right. Each time I sing this with abandon and swirling delight, better, better days feel ready to rise
    This is a heartfelt masterpiece made to call all to do right.

    Buongiorno!
    ANDREW BIRD é un musicista statunitense.
    Vive spostandosi tra Chicago e una fattoria vicina alla cittadina di Elizabeth nel nordovest dell'Illinois.
    È un polistrumentista, poliglotta, poliedrico, politecnico, politematico, polisemantico, politeistico, polipo, polivalente, policlinico e, forse, poligamo.
    Tra i molti strumenti da lui suonati vi sono il violino, la chitarra e il mandolino e a volte mangia un pezzo di pizza.
    All'età di quattro anni è introdotto allo studio della musica attraverso una tecnica particolare: il METODO SUZUKI, detto anche "educazione al talento," "metodo madrelingua" o "movimento Suzuki".
    Una filosofia educativa musicale elaborata dal violinista giapponese SHINICHI SUZUKI nella prima metà del XX secolo.
    Il METODO SUZUKI lavora sullo studente, nutrendo di stimoli il suo ambiente e sviluppandone contemporaneamente sia la maturazione artistica e tecnica, sia la moralità ed il carattere.
    "Prima il carattere e poi l'abilità" diceva Suzuki.
    Il sistema scolastico raramente ammetteva i bambini allo studio
    Prima del suo tempo, era raro che ai bambini venisse insegnato l'uso di uno strumento e ancora più raro che fossero accettati da un insegnante di musica senza un'audizione o un esame di ammissione.
    Suzuki non solo si sforzò di insegnare ai bambini il violino dalla prima infanzia ma fece di più: la sua scuola a Matsumoto non selezionava i candidati per la loro abilità all'ingresso.
    «Voglio creare bravi cittadini. Se un bambino ascolta buona musica dal giorno della sua nascita ed impara a suonarla da solo, allora svilupperà sensibilità, disciplina e pazienza. Ed otterrà uno splendido cuore.» (Shinichi Suzuki)
    A volte succede cosí. L'educazione fa bene.
