Talks With Music

Sweet stories


Flight lost and regained
Man and bug, creative duo.
Artist's soul, educator's heart.
Fur? No. Style? Oh, yes.
An existence with meaning
Choreographed romance
Can't rhinos just knock?
Finishing last and winning.
The blind learn to see.
Love and a typewriter
Suppressed ​Soviet history.
Salvation in similarity
Music as sibling unifier 
Different breed, different style
Biography and storytelling
Sleep is important, too
Kindness among rodents
Inspiration explained
Little-known music history

True story, brilliant bear
