Everybody wants to get in on the Off Center & Not Even music scene these days. We came across a group of toads (Bufo woodhousii) in the bosque last night that call themselves The Kaleidoscopic Croakers, which is rather obvious from the photo I took of them under the light of our phones. They croaked out a bluegrass-like tune for us that they call A Chorus of Crazy Croaking.
Off Center & Not Even 
Love what you did with the image, and also the music!
Thanks, Susan!
Very cool, Tim! Frogs are some of my favorite animals. It reminds me of when a friend of mine in college composed a piece called “Concerto With Active Frogs”, weaving a recording of frog sounds into a musical piece. It’s on Youtube if you want to look it up. I’m going to post yours on facebook and tag her.
Hi Leah. I found Anne LeBaron – Concerto For Active Frogs. It’s quite modern and brought to mind John Cage.
That’s the one! Haven’t heard from her yet (she stays busy) but I’m betting she’ll like your arrangement!
I’ll be interested to see if she has anything to say about it.
I was wondering if the AWB just made a career move… This song sounds very intriguing.
Hi Herman. I think it was an “Animal Day”: https://youtu.be/b7uASneTA8s.
Not a huge fan of frogs ( except) the tiny ones) but this is fantastic! Love this Timothy!
Thanks, Holly. The Kaleidoscopic Croakers and I are happy you liked the song. The KCs are big fat toads, but we are seeing a lot of tiny toads this time of year, and they are really cute.
They really are! 🙂
I like it! Sounds fantastic! Thank you!
Thanks, Victoria!
Un saluto a te e ai micini 🙂
Grazie, Simona!
Sounds great! Love the pic!
That Chorus of Crazy Croaking is very catchy!
GREAT shot!!!!
Thanks, Resa!
Great work, and what a fabulous percussive sound your toads make. All we’ve got are tone deaf cane toads.
Love the bands name!
Haha, I love this! First off, they are adorable and the band name is just fabulous 😀
Thanks, Holly. Creative toads, they are.
Oh my! Do I hear a banjo? Nice arrangement, love the frogs!
You heard a banjo. Thanks, Tiffany.
Now seen on Twitter. 🙂 https://twitter.com/joseph_kanski/status/1154899825965621248
Thanks, Joseph!
Now that would make a great album cover!
Thanks, Lavinia!
My kind of song 🙂 Love the little croakers.
Thanks, Inese.
Tee-hee! Now that was fun! I liked the frog sounds added to bluegrass. That image is spectacular, Tim. Hugs.
Those toads can really get down. They do the Bufo hop really well, also. Thanks, Teagan.
