Back in the late 20th century (some time ago) a program called Eklektikos was playing on a public radio station called KUT in Austin, Texas. The host of the show broadcast a whole record album, a recording of frogs and toads. One after another, from the swamps or the woods or the desert, the specific call of a specific amphibian called out through the car speakers. Funny, deep, quick, slow, croaky, whistley - each one was different. Listening to the frogs' voices, so primordial and wondrous, touched something deep in me.
