Over on this show's Facebook page, I wondered out loud whether a show about humming (which is what this week's show is about) should feature songs about hummingbirds.
The Wikipedia page about humming says, "The 'hum' that a hummingbird creates is created by resonance: in this case by the passage of air against wings in the actions of flying, especially of hovering." So, hummingbirds do hum, but do they qualify for inclusion in a show about humming?
Or should there be an entire show about hummingbirds?
& while we're at it, why didn't awesome Australian band the Hummingbirds ever write a song about humming or hummingbirds? Their jangle pop was amazing.
At this point I don't know if we'll add hummingbirds to the mix. I'd love to hear an argument either way. Okay. Back to listening to music about humming.
