Songbirds

Read the signs on the marts of commerce and on the shops.

Goldstein, Goldstone, Edelstein, Precious Stone, Blumenthal, Flower Vale, Rosenthal, Rose Vale, Violschenduft, Violet Odor, Singvogel, Songbird, Rosenschweig, Rose Branch, and all the amazing list of beautiful and enviable names which Prussia and Austria glorified you with so long ago.

It is another instance of Europe's coarse and cruel persecution of your race, not that it was coarse and cruel to outfit it with pretty and poetical names like those, but that it was coarse and cruel to make it pay for them or else take such hideous and often indecent names that today their owners never use them, or if they do, only on official papers.

And it was the many, not the few, who got the odious names, they being too poor to bribe the officials to grant them better ones.

Radar echoes identified as shorebirds migrating off the New England coast moved steadily about 45 miles per hour for several hours.

Songbird echoes typically traveled around 30 miles per hour.

Some birds appear to reduce flight speed in proportion to the degree of assistance from a tailwind, thus conserving energy.

The intensity of migration depends not only upon extrinsic environmental conditions, but also on intrinsic circumstances affecting the drive motivating the bird's behavior.

Good.

Yo, Garrett with the Swainson's Warblers, that was a great episode.

That's cool, isn't it? Yeah, it was so funny.

He was great.

The spring shorebird migration, fall shorebird migration.

I mean, even this is Palm Warbler Week.

I know the week that Palm Warblers, that I'll get one if I'm going to get one coming through the county.

Yeah, I love that.

Going South with the Warblers.

When I left New York, I thought I had said goodbye to the smaller migrating birds for three days.

My steamer's keel was to furrow nearly a thousand miles of rough sea before it landed me in Florida, where among live oak and palmetto, bamboo and sugar cane, I might hope to meet tiny friends that I had loved and lost a while.

Um, Mike has been booked.

He started at the Sandbar, moved on to Rhythm and Bruise, booked at Songbirds, has been a part of booking shows here at Barrelhouse Ballroom, and that's only like maybe one-tenth of what he's booked because he's also booked in shows for a bunch of your favorite Riverbend artists who've been to Riverfront Nights from all kinds of random other bookings.

I mean, it's...

What do you not book?

They're good.

And so I love to find that next generation, or even earlier than that.

I was mentioning earlier today about we did a show at Songbirds, and it was a showcase with two young bands.

Good at Cheese is a very young band, high school age, moving to college.
