In celebration of #EarthDay, listen to the voice of our planet, Sir David Attenborough. In 1985, Attenborough joined Detroit PBS’ “Late Night America” to discuss his new PBS series, “The Living Planet,” and shared how he first got started in the nature documentary world.

Thank you, Sir Attenborough, for continuing to shine a light on our planet and the many organisms that call it home.

#Taiwan cancels #Eswatini visit after neighbors block airspace

“Lai had been scheduled to attend celebrations marking the 40th anniversary of King Mswati III’s ascension.

Eswatini is the only African country with official diplomatic relations with Taipei.

#Seychelles, #Mauritius, and #Madagascar had pulled their overflight clearances.

#China has since praised the three countries.”

'I have listened to lots of Persian music over the years. It has often intrigued me. Plus, I spent a few years learning frame drums and those are a part of the music of the Middle East, including Iran. I’ve also been curious about many of the wind instruments of this region.

What I was drawn to this time is the varied stringed instruments of Persia.'
