Morning Open Thread is a daily, copyrighted post from a host of editors and guest writers. We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum.

I’ve come to think of this post as one where you come for the music and stay for the conversation—so feel free to drop a note.

================Hello MOTs============

This is KOS member Ozarkblue, here in rural SW MO. 

I thought I’d take a try at a MOT diary, hope it works out OK. 

The music today features the Blue Man Group, founded in 1987. Their motif is playing instruments fashioned from PVC pipe and other odd things. They perform a lot of percussion-style work, which I favor, having played the drums since1952 (started lessons at age 6) and I still play today for the pleasure of my cats (NOT!)

The Group’s members paint their heads blue, it’s their trademark look.

Anyway here’s some selections by The Blue Man Group.
