Unfortunately I do not remember the exact make and model of this old standby. He would easily boogie a 1000ml Erlenmeyer flask all night. Have a listen
oh and here is a link to the ever helpful Dolbear's Law formula on wikipedia. Makes me wonder why the snowy tree cricket (Oecanthus fultoni) is so very consistant for telling the temperature. Supposidly the average cricket is not consistant with variations in the amount they are chirping dependant on their age and mating success. Oecanthus sp. chrip a bit differently in the West as they sing a bit faster. Here is a nice Website with some sound samples and info Its 98 degrees here. I think those snowy tree crickets would be a bit overworked.
Well all musical interests aside nothing could possibley be cooler (probably a well worn joke by now) than a Live Earth Band consisting of researchersfrom theBritish Antarctic Survey’s (BAS) Rothera Research Station. Their name is Nunatak and they are a house band made up of scientists that already reside in Antarctica (well its not like they can actually get out this time of year, guess plenty of time to practice). Nunatak will be live via the Internet for Live Earth...Awesome!
look at band practice: you know you need lights when it is eternal night right now. Way goth.
Here is the prievew video:
oh yeah and band members ...Looking for publications right now. I mean they might be able to play the fiddle but im ready to check out the data. Nunatak band members are:
Matt Balmer - Electronics Engineer - Singer, Guitar Tris Thorne - Communications Engineer - Fiddle Ali (Alison) Massey - Marine Biologist - Saxophone Rob Webster - Meteorologist - Drums Roger Stilwell - Field General Assistant (polar guide) - Bass
