“Bluebird” in this case is not The Bluebird live music venue in Bloomington. This Bluebird (bluebirdimprov.com/) is a touring company of lauded comedians (TV, film, Second City, etc.) who perform live improv shows throughout the world.

Let’s say you were a really smart kid whose (foreign service) parents gave you books but also a guitar. You liked all kinds of music but grew to revere metal. In fact when you grow up you will found two New York City heavy metal bands, Florid Ekstasis and Aphelion Entity. In 2025 you will also get your “dream job” teaching music theory for popular music at a world class music school, Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music. Your name is Calder Hannan.
