THE VIOLIN & THE NORWEGIAN SPRUCE, a love song, for Carl SAGAN

MUSIC? The one thing humans do that makes the rest of NATURE jealous... HEADER & CODA with a winter cohort of coyotes, recorded in the middle of a moonlit night in February on more than a meter of snow. They actually sing directionally into a forested montane bowl and listen to the wood of trees echo their sound.
