Due to some unexpected twists and turns the All Around This World weekly webcast program is going to start in full this summer rather than this spring as originally planned–exact start dates will come soon. Part of the delay has to do with the fact that All Around This World has decided to birth an international holiday and needs to focus on making it great.
WHAT!?!? An INTERNATIONAL HOLIDAY?????
Yes. All the music-meet-holiday excitement of AATW’s nearly daily Song-a-day webcasts has inspired Jay to go even further off the deep end.
So, introducing . . .
<H2>INTERNATIONAL MAKE YOUR OWN INSTRUMENT DAY!</H2>
What is International Make Your Own Instrument Day?
International Make Your Own Instrument Day is a modern musical holiday for everyone–cross-cultural, participatory, inventively fun.
To celebrate this holiday you will MAKE YOUR OWN INSTRUMENT in any way, shape or form, and enjoy playing it tremendously. The instrument can be a simulated “real” instrument–a drum made from a storage bin, a guitar-like broomstick using rubber band strings–or you can create something entirely new. You may play your instrument by yourself in your living room or in an arena with thousands of other friends who have also made their own instruments. You may have just a little fun, but you will probably have a lot.
When is International Make Your Own Instrument Day?
The official holiday will take place on JUNE 21st–the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. Though shouldn’t every day be make your own instrument day?
