Weekend Diversion: Planetary Beers (Synopsis)

“I’ve learned what ‘classical’ means. It means something that sings and dances through sheer joy of existence.” -Gustav Holst

There are some great, creative works out there that take their inspiration from the amazing natural phenomena of this Universe. While perhaps Gustav Holst's suite, The Planets, is best known for translating the celestial wonders into terrestrial ones, I'd like to share with you the less-well-known song of Ferraby Lionheart,

Small Planet,

while I take you through this weekend's wonder.

Also based on the Solar System, it isn't just music that some people choose to express their creativity. In particular, Larry Bell of Bell's Brewery has a new line of beer coming out based on the planets as well: The Planets series of beer!
