Why do birds sing? The question led a philosopher/musician to zoos and forests, where he played clarinet along with birds. His conclusion? Birds make music as surely as Charlie "Bird" Parker ever did. This hour on Here on Earth, join Jean Feraca and her guest for a journey into the mystery of bird songs.
Guest
- David Rothenberg, composer and jazz musician, author of "Why Birds Sing: A Journey into the Mystery of Bird Song." Also professor of philosophy and music at the New Jersey Institute of Technology
