Terje Isungset's Ice Music from Norway

If you think its too cold to go out to any concerts this weekend here in Central Ohio,  you should see what they do in Norway. Terje Isungset is a musician and composer who makes musical instruments from ice, and then writes music he performs for audiences in sub-freezing temperatures. This Youtube video features him and his chilly companions performing on instruments made from a 2,500-year-old glacier. And, as he says, "the instruments belong to nature." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irBcJs3aY2A These people know how to turn cold weather into an opportunity. So, if you were planning to go out to a live performance this weekend but are having second thoughts due to the weather, it's all relative; it may not be as cold as you think. Just bundle up and enjoy the concerts.
