Lucy Kaplansky - "A Song About Pi" (Official Video)

Published on Jul 14, 2013
This is the official music video for "A Song About Pi," written by Irving Kaplansky and Enid Rieser and performed by Lucy Kaplansky.





Or this one:

Song from ?! (with Sheet Music/HQ Download)

Composer's note here:
Published on Mar 6, 2015
Pi Song I wrote to help me memorize pi - I figured it would be easier to remember a melody than a string of numbers.




This second video using Pi is pretty recent, and from a very talented musician/composer.

In other countries 22 July (22/7) is pi day. But this one is the "pi day of the century" because in the morning and afternoon for one second we will have 3.14.15 9:26:53

Of course since everything involved with date and time is arbitrary, this will be just as momentous and significant as Y2K was.

I'm making a pie anyway.

I may have for Y2K as well.... I don't remember.

So should I make a buttermilk pie or a pecan pie?

I suppose I could make both.
