International Strange Music Day was created by Patrick Grant, a New York City musician.
The premise is simple: to get people to play and listen to types of music they have never experienced before.
The ‘strange’ part can mean either unfamiliar or bizarre – the choice is entirely yours. Patrick believes broadening people’s musical spectrums can also change the way we look at other aspects of life – his mantra is ‘listening without prejudice’.
This growing movement has concerts, a record label and strong support from summer schools, where it is appreciated as a great way to stimulate young minds.
Have you ever wanted to combine a tight Wonder Woman costume, a frozen turkey drumstick and an inflatable wildebeest into a percussion concert?
International Strange Music Day gives you the perfect excuse. What you do with these items once the music stops, of course, is your business…
And
Vesuvius Day

The rumble and groaning of the earth as it starts to boil and roll. A cloud of dark ash that spread wherever the wind takes it. Bright, and extremely hot molten rock flowing down the hillside.
These are just a few of the markers that explain a volcanic event, and none are large than the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. This is in remembrance, of that very location, and the destruction that has been caused by Mount Vesuvius.
History of Vesuvius Day
The Mount of Vesuvius is most widely known for it’s eruption in 79 A.D. It was this very eruption that killed over a thousand souls, and destroyed the cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum and a number of other, smaller settlements.
Mount Vesuvius has erupted many times since, being regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanos in the world due to the large population living nearby.
Being only 9 km from Naples, it is that very area being one of the most highly populated volcanic areas on the planet, being hope to over 3,000,000 people. The tendency towards explosive, or Plinian, eruptions also factors into that title.
The large cone at the top, or summit, was formed by the collapse of an earlier mountain structure, orginally much higher than the summit is now.
This, along with Mount Vesuvius’ active status as a volcano, makes it a dangerous, if beautiful, site to be around.
