Wow! Michael at Orange Crate Art let me know the amazing musician who made the George Floyd Bunt Staff I posted about yesterday is Douglas R. Ewart:
www.douglasewart.com
"Bunt" for bundt because, Ewart says,
"George Floyd bunted with his life deliberately or inadvertently, and thereby opened the eyes, ears, hearts, conscience and compassion of the world, and to the stories of all who have suffered and are suffering police lawlessness, brutality, and extrajudicial killings throughout the world.Here's my favorite of the many instruments he creates, which you can see on his website.
We trust that the guilty verdicts in the George Floyd case is a tremendous turning point for continued Justice throughout America and the rest of Planet Earth.Stay StrongStay FocusedStay Committed to the Fight for Truth, Justice and Equality!!!Walk Good!"

There's
something about a hamster wheel---I have one sitting around, waiting
for the girlettes to use it in a Circus Act. (The next Costume Day is
mid-May!)
And Marz attached a red one on top of a sieve (etc.) to make her Captain dance hat in 2018:
"I entered the crooked room
of questions you just don't ask,
On the altar was a hamster wheel:
"Spin here for your next task."
(song lyrics by Marz)
