2009 has been a big year for Charles Darwin as it marks his 200th birthday and the 150th anniversary of the release of On the Origin Of Species. He’s been getting a lot of attention in the science community this year and now a literary minded group of musicians have decided to pay tribute in their own creative way. Darwin’s work was the November book for the Bushwick Book Club, a Brooklyn-based group that meets monthly to play songs inspired by the chosen piece of literature.
Our friend Sweet Soubrette's homage to the Origin of Species, the Humble Bee, and other songs by members of the Buswick Book Club can be heard on this post.
