about

“If you were a cloud, and sailed up there,
You'd sail on the water as blue as air.
And you'd see me here in the fields and say:
"Doesn't the sky look green today?”
― A.A. Milne, When We Were Very Young

The original toys that inspired Milne (and his son) can still be seen at the New York Public Library. Go to the Library!

I AM NOT A MONSTER
by arthritis kid

A unique blend of melodies, symphonic orchestrations, and a radio head opera feel to some of the songs...its different and fresh to us! It doesn't hurt to move around with Arthritis Kid playing. The Arches
