Many years ago, the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park had evening concerts on a swath of land within the park. You could hear some of the animals while you sat on the grass listening to the music. My wife and I attended a concert by Don McLean. Everything was normal until he started singing Starry Nights (Vincent). The crowd fell silent listening to the haunting lyrics and melody. Then we noticed that all the animal sounds stopped as well. It was wonderful, but eerie. We were in the middle of a valley, surrounded by animals free to roam in large enclosures. Sent shivers. It has to be 40 years ago and we’ve never forgotten it.
Thank you

What a beautiful memory. I loved Starry Night.
