Going Home Star -- a REALLY IMPORTANT work. Far North, Far South, Tubas, Euro Jazz, plus groovy toques! What could go wrong?

For today's Pan Galactic adventure, we feature "Going Home Star", and The Royal Winnipeg Ballet! This is a REALLY IMPORTANT work, wrapped around our sad history. Plus plenty of tubas, World-Jazz, and toques too. Join the fun. And please hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd love to hear from ya.

PB, I'm supposed to be working on my report cards...and now you are distracting me with this moving piece. I keep having to redirect myself back to my reports! This is great stuff.

Hey Matthew, after the fact. Going Home Star is indeed, TOTALLY STUNNING! Yeah, your link no workie... Actually, in a way, I am glad, sort of. This is a really important work, even pivotal, that needs to be supported. Including financially. But also, the message behind it is really important to get out too. Anyhow, I am not aware of any YouTube / other bits out there.
