  • Dude that background music was a great idea. Would anyone know where i find out if it was his or if the museum had that set up?????

  • @wizarda7x Yes, the music is so great! That's keyboardist Timmy Straw performing live on stage. I'm not sure what piece it is (it may be improvisational) but you can learn more about Timmy and hear some of her music at her bandcamp and myspace pages.
