That Dancing Engineer Guy Again


Remember my earlier blog post about Matt Harding, the dancing engineer who goes around the world and does his little goofy dance?

Well, the New York Times just ran a profile on him and it's a well-written piece about the boy.

The music, apparently, is based on the famous poem "Steam of Life" by the Rabindranath Tagore and is sung in Bengali by a 17-year-old Bangladeshi Palbasha Siddique, now in Minneapolis.

As The Greek said in Season 2 of The Wire, "The world is a smaller place now."

Amen to that my brother.
