Over five minutes of lighthearted instrumental silliness. If you're seeking a serious contribution to new music, with an element of sophistication, this number is probably not for you. If, on the other hand, you appreciate an occasional escape into unpredictable elements of melodically interwoven & slightly bombastic sound clips, you may be nicely entertained. Whatever your reason for listening, please enjoy!

Inspired by a recent winter respite to Miami, Florida's South Beach. While the beach & ocean proved reliably relaxing, therapeutic, & eclectic, the hotel's poolside courtyard offered unexpected overhead entertainment. In addition to the occasional passing pelican, the courtyard palm trees were home to clusters of monk parakeets. These fluorescent green inhabitants regularly serenaded guests throughout each day while flying overhead in groups to deposit twigs & other miscellaneous building materials into their apartment-like nests.

Images captured during a recent fall visit to Mackinac Island, Michigan.
An exploration of the Grand Hotel's interior provided a finding of two monster machines, evidently well-known to those experienced in the fine art of theater projection systems. Quite sure they're not currently operational, but they were certainly entertaining to explore.
Thank you for your co-investigation participation, Lucille.
