Sasquatchman

Ryan plays on his own as The Sasquatchman.  He was invited to play at the NASA Inauguration Star Party Saturday Night.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/nasahqphoto/8399770177/

These are photos of the planetarium.  The first is Ryan sitting outside the exit, entertaining the guests.  The lower left is guest viewing a show inside the planetarium.  The lower right is one of the telescopes that was set up for viewing.  You can see the planetarium in the background of the picture on the lower right.
The Yahoos have been active and avid supporters of the planetarium.  If you have an interest in the ongoing support visit http://friendsoftheplanetarium.org/  or see them on facebook https://www.facebook.com/saveplanetarium?ref=ts&fref=ts

Busker Season Approaches!

It may seem like a long way to the summer, but according to Zeno's Paradox it is really always summer.  Consider this December 21 is the longest day of the year and is therefore not summer.  All the days previous to that are days that are leaving summer and all of the days after are approaching summer.  Since the moment at which summer arrives cannot be determined in any precise manner it could be considered that it is always summer.  Of course the rest of the paradox would infer that it was also always winter, but since I like summer better I will ignore that piece...

At any rate, many of the Busking Applications are coming due and I have been hard at work piecing them together.  So far the Yahoos have applied for Kingston and Toronto.  Those two bracket our summer break as teachers.  The Monday after Toronto will be back to work for us.  We should be posting some new recordings soon.  Ryan has made several more of his own and we are trying to get the Yahoos together before he has to go back to college later in January.

We managed an open mic night at the IONA cafe as winter break began and will get together for another next week.  Ryan of course has been to Georgetown regularly busking on his own.  He has a few favorite spots there and has braved to cold to perform and entertain.

Here is another of his new recordings for you to enjoy.  A song written and performed by him.
