Description

This is a kind of rap created from riffs and rhymes on ideas from Samantha Weinberg's fascinating popular book about the discovery of the Coelacanth, A Fish Caught in Time. It began as a family project in an Irish pub by Judith Harway and her 10-year old son Keith Armstrong while on vacation. Dan Armstrong took the resulting lyric and wrote this song during a tour with the Chicago Symphony. It is presented here in a home-made version with Armstrong on all virtual, real and vocal instruments. We hope the song reflects our sense of wonder at the evolution of life on earth. One other thing: unlike the fish, the song has yet to be seen "live", although it was once rehearsed by the Jason Seed Elixir Ensemble.
