One of the most frequent {Music Monday} artists mentioned on this blog is Andrew Bird (& most played in my studio). He is one of my favorite musicians without a doubt. The thing that continuously interests me about his music, is his ability to collaborate & contribute to so many cool projects. I was actually planning on doing this post about his contribution to the Muppet Movie Soundtrack (because we saw it this weekend- & I love the song & Kermit). However, I found out about, "Andrew Bird & Ian Schneller's Sonic Arboretum" at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago & it stopped my in my cyber tracks. What an amazing concert that will be! Ok Santa... did you hear that? Hmmm, well- I suppose that is a real long shot but it's worth putting on my pretend list. If I was a muppet, I could travel by map. So, If you are in the Chicago area & go to this, will you give me a play by play - complete with a description of what socks he was wearing?
So, anyway, back to my original thought - here is a video of my favorite musician singing my favorite frog's song. And yes, the Muppet Movie was really good. I loved it.... I can't help but think that the new muppet character, Walter, was inspired a bit by Andrew Bird himself. Happy Music Monday! Hope you have a great week!

This is so cool Kristin! I wish we could go too. The sound system looks great too! (ha, of course, reminded me of Chris' art!)
